Summary:                    [patch] Configured CFLAGS/LDFLAGS are used by main,
but not by modules built out of tree
Description: 
The patch supplied by Kevin in:

http://svn.asterisk.org/svn-view/asterisk?view=rev&rev=214696

doesn't include Makefile.rules, so out-of-tree modules (which use
Makefile.moddir_rules which includes Makefile.rules) won't have properly
initialized values for _ASTCFLAGS and ASTLDFLAGS.

"I really don't see why this needs a review on our part. From our
perspective, if code is under a license where it could be linked to
Asterisk, it might as well be contributed to Asterisk, where it could exist
in-tree. So there doesn't appear to be a good reason either for modules to
exist outside of the tree or for us to support such a beast."

The corollary to that reasoning, of course, is that you're not making it
possible for users who wish to build code that requires a different license
to do so (out-of-tree).  For instance, if they wanted to use a resource or
feature that required non-GPL licensing (such as libnfconntrack, or an MP3
codec).
