International phone numbers for CCK

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Description

Task description / Requirements:
Create an abstraction of the existing filters for phone numbers, so that
the filter (to be created) works for all country-codes, therefor:
+ add a configuration option for a default country code,
+ The new filter should validate the number from the user-input against the
rules of ITU: validate the country code if started with a "+" sign
+ add a default country-code if the user didn't typed it in, delete
therefor a leading 0
+ add a configuration option for the maximum number of digits a phone
number is allowed to have (default 20; ITU recommondation 15 + Country-code)
+ test the length of the phone numbers (digits only) against the configured
length, while ignoring all brackets, dots, dashes etc. form the user - input,

Approach:
Install drupal, cck and phone
create a input-type with a phone nuber, test the limits of the existing
phone-module (not all country-codes can be used)
take the php-Editor / IDE of your choice
Learn how the existing filters are build (fr, us, ca, it, ru)
Create the configuration for the filter
Create the generic filter for all phone-numbers
Integrate the configuration: the filter and the existing phone-module

Versions:
phone is now only for D5 aviable, so the students / you will have to use D5
with the actual developer release of the phone module

Deliverable(s)
a new filter for phone (Ready for review)
a patch of phone.module to integrate the new filter (Ready for review)
at least one page of user documentation: Who defines country-codes? Where
are they officiealy documented? What is the recommendation for the length
of phone numbers? What signs are used to format a phone-number ?
The used standards should be described in the readme.txt, the appropriate
places in the source-code and appropriate links should also placed on the
configuration page.

Edward did a great job on this and even threw in some simple tests for no extra
charge.  Great work.
