it is not the flavour that does it. Or at least we use different terms 
here. The flavour controls the name of binary, compilation flags, what 
tools are installed.

This is the config file compatibility mode which does not depend on 
flavour - no matter what flavour you have, you can use #!KAMAILIO or 
#!SER (e.g., compile K flavour and have SER config compatibility).

I'm fine with getting rid of script compat directive, but flavours will 
stay for a while, since there are different db structures and modules 
for spcific purposes.

Cheers,
Daniel
