Hi Jan,

thanks for the pointer, thats a cool feature. Some things i noticed during my 
tests of the 'kamailio-3.0' branch: It seems that the library dependencies of 
the modules are recompiled again for every module. I thought you fixed 
something in this regards in the main branch, perhaps this is not yet 
integrated into this? But i don't remember exactly, its of course not a big 
issue. A more problematic bug i run into is that the compilation of 
the 'perl' module run into a endlees loop during the make, because i don't 
have the necessary dependencies installed, and make somehow don't detects 
that the compilation fails.

Cheers,

Henning
