On the subject of the port... is there a reason that the FBSD ports
collection has the versions it does for asterisk and all its dependancies?
Several seem a long way out of date. Asterisk itself is 1.0.7 which is
fine, but 

Package		version	date	current	date
pwlib		1.5.0	6/6/03	1.9.0	3/7/05
openh323	1.12.0	6/6/03	1.17.1	3/10/05
openmcu		1.1.7	3/7/03	2.1.0	3/10/05

These are the sourceforge versions... it appears that the 'latest versions'
on openh323.org are pwlib-1.5.2, openh323-1.12.2 (all from 2003). I'm not
sure of the relationship between openh323.org and the openh323 project on
sourceforge.

Before I spend time trying the newer versions of pwlib and openh323 and
opening PR to get updates to FBSD ports... has anyone tried the newer
versions and did they work OK/better? I'm likely going to try the newer
versions anyway with gnugk (which is also old in FBSD Ports)

Thanks!
