I agree, at least stun part should be easy to pull and make a module, 
following same model as for http/msrp/etc... I was looking also at other 
core parts, like dnssec (which is still work in progress as I could get).

For sctp I am not sure how easy/natural it will be, being a completely 
different transport layer. For tls was different being practically on 
top of tcp from the core. But if the external libs calls can be moved as 
part of the module and register some callbacks to be executed from the 
core, then should be fine. I haven't checked the code right now, but I 
guess the functions to create sctp sockets are part of libc, just some 
helper functions are part of the libsctp.

Cheers,
Daniel
