If you copy the lib and executable directories, you can go back very
easy.

Another option would be to keep a pristine copy and copy it to a new
working directory to do your testing. This lets you do your changes in
your working copy, make, make install then test. If you need to go back
to the pristine copy, a make install should be able to just copy the
original libraries and executable into the proper location and restart
asterisk. Here you don't have to track down anything and make sure you
copy it back into the right locations.
