Summary:                    [patch] multiple voicemail and directory modules
Description: 
The attached patch is intended to generate multiple instances of
app_voicemail and app_directory that can be built separately.

This is done by copying e.g. app_voicemail.c to app_voicemail_imap.c and
editing its MODULES comment.

This is a first working draft (I'm testing it in the Debian package. We
initially had a much uglier hack).  

Obvious problem of this at run-time is that the multiple voicemail or
directory modules cannot be loaded together and an explicit noload must be
used.

I don't know that this really goes in a direction that is preferred.  I
think the preferable solution would be to allow multiple backends to be in
use at once, probably with a plugin architecture that allows administrators
to choose different backends for different users (or groups of users). 
This was part of the idea behind the ast_storage branch in the team/group
area.
