The only other thing I was thinking about was to add aliases, in the form of /etc/init.d files, to start and stop Asterisk, through the documented launchctl calls.

Another point is Asterisks's unexpected behaviour with regards to
droping core files. Should -g be the default? If not, why does
safe_asterisk use it?

That assumes a rather rigid file-system layout. Is that layout so
common on OSX?
