Granted. But is there also a reason for having such a "build system"?
IMHO, OpenH323 is just broken in that respect, but I guess this is the
wrong list to discuss such stuff.

Luckily, Asterisk does a much better job, compiling, installing and
building just right out of the box. Big thanks to everybody who made that
possible! (and maybe sometiime H.323 support will be a as easy to build,
or even not necessary any more...)

Cheers,
