I'm not understand before why you don't want to give this resources. Now I
understand. Thanks.

Some of ideas can't be copyrighted (like system call to enable coredump
when starting with unpriviledged user, that was added some months ago).

Moving most asterisk-related functions to libasterisk also not copyrighted
idea (that I has long before it was done in OpenPBX). But this work is
hard, needs careful testing. I start it, but would not continue before
succeful discussion here about this.

I think that moving most of code from core asterisk binary to library
would be "The Right Thing". I can do this work. Would it be accepted if
done?
