Interesting idea... I like it. Actually, using /etc/asterisk.makeopts 
(or ~/.asterisk.makeopts), you could add subdirectories to be built 
automatically to the Makefile rules. We'd need to ensure that the 
Makefile for the add-on module(s) was constructed properly, but it could 
be done.

There is also an 'astxs' script for building out-of-tree modules, but 
it's still lacking in one or two areas.

I didn't plan on touching anything below /usr/lib/asterisk/modules, just 
the files directly in that directory. Anything in a subdirectory would 
be left alone, and excess modules would moved into a newly created 
subdirectory named appropriately (thanks to the previous poster's 
suggestion).
