I don't feel very good about linking against another big library, much
more without proper upstream support. I haven't made up my mind yet,
though, I'll give it a try.

Unfortunately, upstream needs a copyright disclaimer for patches that
are to be merged. If that was your intention and you have no problems
with giving up your copyrights in that, please open a bug in upstream's
bug tracker: http://issues.asterisk.org/

Thanks,
