[Asterisk-Dev] Construct an ast_config from database

[Rob Gagnon]

You could look into ast_data project for mysql, pgsql, or odbc integration 
into asterisk (which includes the app_directory stuff)
See http://svn.asteriskdocs.org/res_data

OR

You could use the built-in MySQL support.  See some info on 
www.voip-info.org or read through some of the Makefiles in the source 
distribution.  (IE:  channels/Makefile)
