Summary:                    [patch] Configurable phoneprov path
Description: 
I maintain a few Asterisk installations using the RPMs from Digium's YUM
repository and have to deal with files in my AST_DATADIR/phoneprov folder
being overwritten with packages are updated.  I keep /etc/asterisk in an
SVN repository.   I keep my provisioning files and templates in
/etc/asterisk/phoneprov and change /var/lib/asterisk/phoneprov to be a link
to there.  

I'm not sure what the "right" way to do this is but I'd like to be able to
point the res_phoneprov module to an alternate path for its content and
templates.  I can code and am willing to develop a patch but would like
some guidance on the "correct" way to handle this.  Is this worthy of a new
entry in asterisk.conf's [directories] section?  Or, is this a new setting
in phoneprov.conf?  Perhaps another I'm not thinking of?
