SIP-ROUTER modules

+In the previous release some modules where provided in two versions, in Kamailio

+Modules are divided in two directories
- modules: the SIP router modules
- modules_k: Kamailio modules
- - modules_s: SER modules

-All modules are compatible with the core, so regardless if you are a new user or

-Note that if you are currently using one product, you want to select the module

-As sip-router development progress, we will move as many modules as possible
