Why not create per module a new section to the modules.conf file where
it has a config file with at least one line specifing the main config
file. Something like

[modules]
autoload=yes
load => chan_sip.so
noload => chan_alsa.so

[chan_sip.so]
mainconfig=sip.conf    ; Expected to be in the "astetcdir" path
notifyconfig=/usr/local/asterisk/etc/sip_notify.conf

[chan_iax.so]
mainconfig=iax.con
provconf=iaxprov.conf

With this setup when a modules is ever renamed a new section is added.
People can customize to their own specifics.
An interface needs to be created which every module can call to locate
it's config files. Each module specifies it's own lineids to use but the
main/initial config file lineid is always "mainconfig".

This is just an idea.

Regards,

Michel.
