tools looks like a good place, imo -- scripts can be removed completely 
or kept for small scripts used in migration/mass update.

I think this one needs a bit of cleanup and moved under tools folder as 
well. Perhaps kamunix can be moved within tools/kamctl, being used by 
that one.

Henning, any idea what db_berkeley and db_oracle in utils/ offer? I 
never used them... maybe we can give better names, to reflect what they 
do, instead of db module name.

fifo_relay is in ser as well, not sure if they suffered changes 
meanwhile. Anyhow, imo, tools, utils, scripts can be merged in one, say 
tools.

Default kamailio config should be imported, has good example of using 
presence, nat, auth with K modules. The examples directory has to be 
checked, I guess the files there are more or less what is now in sr, but 
with kamailio syntax.

doc/dbschema and doc/database - Henning, here is your call.

So, what I can summarize as being with higher priority:
- scripts/ imported in tools/kamctl
- etc/kamailio.cfg imported in etc/
- utils/kamunix in tools/kamctl/kamunix

Cheers,
Daniel
