[Asterisk-Users] Any way to not overwrite sound files on compile?

Couldn't you do something like say that the files
localized for your particular installation are in
another language?  Just do something like
language=enmycompanyname, copy all the standard
asterisk files to your local installation's equivalent
of /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/enmycompnayname, et voila!
 No more overwriting of your files, and you get
fallback behaviour to the standard asterisk sounds as
well when new, nonlocalized sounds are included in the
distribution.

Just replacing the original files in their original
locations seems incorrect to me.  You're essentially
creating a new branch without building any
infrastructure to support that branch.

another account and it didn't seem to go to the list)
