We put each tenant's sip and extensions config files in
/etc/asterisk/accounts and then do an include for that directory in the
main files.

We keep all the voicemail.conf in one because changes to passwords will NOT
be saved to included files.  We used to use includes for voicemail but that
meant no password changes.

The main file has a list of all phone numbers in the system in numerical
order where we set the account name, and then we send them to the proper
context like this:

exten => 12015551212,1,Set(CDR(accountcode)=johnsmith)
........

exten => _X.,n(cont),Goto(${CDR(accountcode)}#did,${EXTEN},1)

There's a bunch of other stuff in there where we do line counting and such.
