There is no way we're going to do that; I believe it is the wrong way 
and my gut tells me that it may also be a policy violation, but I 
haven't checked.

Splitting chan_vpb to a different package is something we can discuss 
though. We've done this before for chan_h323, it's only fair to consider 
it for chan_vpb.

Besides the obvious "bloat" of having libvpb installed, do you have any 
other issues with it?
