As noted by other posters, please don't hit reply in your e-mail client 
when starting a new thread - it breaks threading in clueful clients by 
adding an In-Reply-To header which shouldn't be there. Thanks. :)

Talking of which, INSTALL_PREFIX doesn't seem to behave properly. I'd 
expect the following...

   make INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local install

...to install Asterisk into:
   /usr/local/lib/asterisk/
   /usr/local/sbin/asterisk/
   /usr/local/include/asterisk/
   etc.

But it doesn't. It puts things in /usr/local/usr/lib/asterisk/ etc. 
libpri is the same. If we patch the makefiles for libpri and asterisk, 
should they still put things in /etc/ and /var/ or should they go in 
/usr/local/etc/ and /usr/local/var/ ?
