I already do have the XML inside the /*** DOCUMENTATION <...> ***/ and 
am parsing it back out myself, creating the module-en_US.xml that I'm 
putting in the thirdparty/ directory.  The module isn't distributed with 
Asterisk and it doesn't require the original asterisk source tree- I'd 
hate to add that dependency just for the docs and would rather give the 
user the option to just 'restart' instead of reinstall+restart.

hmm, I haven't contributed a patch in a couple of years...

Thanks!
