In 1.4, you can run an agi script on connection to an agent. In trunk
you can also run a macro upon agent connection. However, we use Local
channels so that we can do more things *before* we dial the Agent's
phone (check Jabber status / check database status etc) so we find it
more useful.

Indeed, someone pointed out on the irc that you *could* have a single
Local/SingleAgent member of a queue and the dialplan itself could
determine the correct / most appropriate agent to send the call to.
