Kristian,

Ok... you got me curious, so I did a diff between the 2 versions.
It looks like most (or all) the differences are due to a change that was 
committed to a file in Asterisk (indications.c - revision 122314 on Jun 12).
Apparently some time-zone structures and method signatures changed.
It looks like minor stuff, but probably was needed to compile.

So I have an idea on how to handle this...
Why couldn't we make the .mk file for this package aware of which 
version of Asterisk you were compiling against?
That way, it could automatically change it's downloaded/built version 
based on which version of Asterisk was being used.
Doing this it should be transparent and no one would have to remember to 
upgrade this package when Asterisk was upgraded.
Or, is this still too fragile?
