I didn't know that.

No real advantage but I had to patch Gentoo's Asterisk 1.4.19 ebuild (ie "package") to avoid losing /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_ilbc.so and I took advantage of the fact that there already exists an ilbc ebuild for Gentoo. If I want Gentoo users to upgrade seamlessly via the package management system I can think of only two choices: 1) change the 1.4.19 ebuild so that it runs the contrib/scripts/getilbcsource.sh before compiling (but I would still need to patch that script to remove the "read") 2) change the * 1.4.19 ebuild so that it can take advantage of ilbc provided by another ebuild (via dependency). I proposed option 2 for Gentoo users and it's working fine for my system. However, if you plan to get the iLBC source code back in the main distribution soon then that's even better and as I wrote before, you can ignore my request.
