[EAS] RWT trigger detection

This is fine if you have the ability to embed coding for the closures, a 
means to extend them on a separate channel and to decode at the various 
sites.  We have that too.  For us, a couples sites are remote which we 
simply don't wish to add more things to fail out there.  We want to keep 
it simple. Audio and basic IP.  Nothing more.

What I'm looking at is something the box itself can detect and then 
react. I know it doesn't do it now.  I'm asking just how feasible it is, 
and second how widespread the interest would be to such a concept???  I 
know of a few automation systems not capable of originating closures on 
command would welcome such a simplified method to trigger RWT's 
regardless of the ENDEC's location.
