  It'd be nice as an option; I don't know how difficult it is to put hooks
  into Asterisk to allow for the inclusion of the library.

  I agree, it shouldn't be a requirement, but it is a nice-to-have for those
  of us (unlike Kevin :-) ) who do like using the libwrap built-in controls.

  In a completely somewhat-related question, is this lack of dependence on
  external libraries, other than the list below, the reason why Asterisk
  does not use the seemingly common ./configure scripts?

  Libraries linked to /usr/sbin/asterisk:
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4001d000)
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40021000)
         libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40072000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400b4000)
         libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x400db000)
         libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x400ed000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4011e000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
         libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0x4023c000)
