Summary:                    [patch] live_ast: script to run asterisk without
installing
Description: 
When you want to test a new version of asterisk it is often desirable not
to fully install it on your system, as you want to keep your existing
setup.

Asterisk installation includes not only the asterisk binary, but also a
directory of modules, a directory of configuration files, log files, etc.
This script automates the process of using a private copy of all the above
without installing Asterisk on the system.

It generally works by installing asterisk under a subdirectory live/
(using DESTDIR), and then providing a few small adjustments to run it from
there.

It may also be desireble to build and run that test copy of Asterisk vs.
some experimental versions of libraries. The script includes simple support
for using custom versions of zaptel and libpri, and other libraries are
simple to add.

This seems like a pretty neat little idea; I like it! I've assigned it to
Corydon76 for a code review, and if he determines this makes sense and
should be set to Ready for Testing, he can assign it to me to remind me to
test this before a commit. Thanks!
