apart of the names, the diferences between the flavours is that kamailio 
enables few more compile times flags, namely kamailio-developed core 
statistics and AS support in tm module -- there no other difference in 
terms of the capabilities of the binary applications. So, no matter is 
ser or kamailio, uac_req_send() should work.

The dependency on rr module is for uac_replace_from(), not for 
uac_req_send(). Would be good to have a single component offering 
functionality of sending requests, as development resources can be 
shared instead of split. I wrote the code for uac_req_send(), so if more 
convenient, it can be moved to another module (existing or new) to make 
it completely independent of other k/s modules.

Cheers,
Daniel
