Almost completely agreed.

The only thing in asterisk.conf (as installed) that depends
on the build defaults is the [directories] section.
Having it dynamically built is only useful as a reminder of how the
defaults were set at build time.

So, we could take the core of the file from configs/asterisk.conf.sample
and then append/prepend the commented-out [directories] section from the Makefile.

thanks guys for the very useful feedback
