[Voiceglue] Issues with the transfer tag

First of all, thanks for all the hard work on Voiceglue, especially 
0.9's parameter passing feature.

I have a few questions about the transfer tag:

1) Any normal way I've attempted to play an audio prompt before 
transferring has resulted in the audio being played after the 
transferred call ends.  I've tried things like:

<form id="transfer">
  <block>
    <prompt>transferring now</prompt>
  </block>
  <transfer dest="..."/>
</form>

and:

<form id="transfer">
  <transfer dest="...">
    <prompt>transferring now</prompt>
  </transfer>
</form>

and a bunch of other things, no matter what, I don't hear "transferring 
now" until the transferred call ends.  I can work around it, but it's 
kind of a hassle, and I'm just wondering if there's some problem with my 
setup.

2) Is the connecttimeout attribute of the transfer tag supposed to be 
working?  If I set it to, say, "17s", I'd expect it to terminate the 
transfer attempt after 17 seconds of ringing but no connection.  
However, in my testing so far, the transfer attempt keeps going long 
after that.

3) Is there any way to specify the callerid/ANI that should be displayed 
to the person being transferred to?  Currently, it seems like it always 
inherits the callerid/ANI from the initial call, which might not always 
be desirable.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
