asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Sample code fragement for subscribing to hints wanted.

Can anyone point me at a code fragment (C would be nice) that I could
use to subscribe to hints on a * box?

I'd like to write a small (hopefuly efficient) widget to show custom
device states and believe that a subscription to the hint would be the
most efficient but I'm very open to suggestions.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't it be a whole lot easier
to get this information via the Asterisk Manager Interface, rather than
writing a C program that knows how to parse SIP messages?
