extending standard behaviours

OK, I see how to do this now.  My new behaviour module will
look like a user to the gen_fsm behaviour and so it exports
the call backs that gen_fsm expects.  It will look like a
behaviour to it's users so we export the same but possibly
extended interface as gen_fsm to our users.  

I put this together and it seems to work brilliantly.  This
gives me exactly what I wanted which is to be able to write
generic handlers in one place and handle the specifics in
the individual state hanlder modules.  For instance when 
we terminate the fxs_fsm module's terminate/3 function will
do it's own clean up (hang up a call in a signaling specific
way) and then call the cha_fsm terminate function to do the
common clean up tasks (write to a log).  Messages received
by fxs_fsm which are not understood by it are forwarded on
to chan_fsm which handles them in a generic way.

Thanks Chris!
