I don't see a reason to do it this way. The sounds are very rarely 
changed, so my thinking has been this:

1) Create a separate version number for the 'base' sounds. Export the 
sounds into a tarball named with that version number and put it on 
ftp.digium.com.

2) Modify the 'make install' target in the Asterisk makefile to check 
the currently-installed-version tag in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds.

3) If the installed version is older than the version embedded in the 
Makefile, then download that version's tarball, unpack it and install it.

4) For tarballs of Asterisk, the needed version of the sounds will be 
included into the tarball when it gets made.

Comments?
