Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

v3:
Use chown / chgrp to set sounds and moh directories.  Looking for a better solution.

TODO: utilize AST_USER and AST_GROUP within asterisk.c to set default runuser and rungroup variables.


Summary
-------

Make Asterisk install as non-root, this is now the default behavior.

3 new configure options:
--with-user=uid
--with-group=gid
--disable-non-root

Various changes to Makefile, prefer install over mkdir, mv, chmod and chgrp.
