allows option for wvdial abort on NO DIALTONE or BUSY errors

Assigning to the wvdial package.

after appling this patch, it still apears to not work for me.... BUT, just
yesterday it started working like it should (aborting on NO DIAL TONE).  The
only thing that i see that has happened is that i have rebooted.  Not sure why
this would have a berring on the matter, but i cant argue with the results....

should work in current versions
