We've been talking about extending loader.conf to support something like:

autoload=yes (for what we have now)
autoload=addons (for a subdirectory called addons in 
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules)

It already supports:

load=addons/foo.so

although in the CLI you currently have to to 'reload addons/foo.so' and 
the like, but we can fix that up.

If that gets done, then any modules _not_ installed by Asterisk's 'make 
install' would go into subdirectories of /usr/lib/asterisk/modules, and 
it would stop complaining about their presence... but also when a new 
release of Asterisk no longer includes a module that an old one did it 
would be automatically removed.
