[Asterisk-bsd] g729 for Asterisk 1.4.1 on FreeBSD 6.2

[Ryan Lackey]

Yes, I specifically meant g729 binaries for amd64 machines, supporting
transcoding on a per-channel licensed basis.  

I've been running g729-only using amd64 on freebsd with 1.4.1, relying on my
hardphones, etc. for g729 support, but that's in no-transcoding mode, which
makes it impossible to do N to N conferencing, etc.  Plus, no linux
softphone supports g.729 now, so testing is a bit harder (thekompany's
tkPhone sort of does, but the phone app is horrible and barely maintained)

I'm going to have a party in 2014 or 2015 when the patents run out.  (or
earlier if AMD or Intel decided to pay $0.01/cpu to license g729 on their
own CPUs for general purpose implementations, or something like that)
