[asterisk-dev] Time to rename chan_gulp?

If someone's looking for SIP, how would they know to use pjsip or sipng?  Though they both include "sip," neither is descriptive enough to clue in a brand new user. The brand new user has bigger problems to worry about:
> How do I install?
> What's a dial plan?
> Does sip.conf have anything to do with sipng.conf?
>
> I believe it's going to cause less confusion to put more distance between the two names rather than trying to keep them close and bound by "sip."

At the risk of sounding cynical, I think we should've called res_fax 
res_facmelior then. Consistency is nice.

The assumption that you already need a tutorial is not an excuse for 
making things harder to find than necessary.
