I now see that this bug was accidentally not cloned to DAHDI. I'm not
completely sure the issue is valid today, but still have several extra
added source files (under drivers/ ). For at least one of those the
package is practically upstream. This is not something I like. OTOH,
those extra drivers are not going to be part of DAHDI in the forseeable
future.

In order to fix that, I figured I'd put them in a separate git
repository. For now[1]:

  http://git.tzafrir.org.il/?p=dahdi-extra.git;a=summary

This repository allows me to easily test-build those drivers (did you
know that the OpenVox driver fails to build with latest kernel?) .

It can also be used to produce one big patch of all of them: the target
'gen-patch' produces:

Subject: dahdi-extra: out-of-tree DAHDI drivers
Origin: http://git.tzafrir.org.il/?p=dahdi-extra.git

Last-Update: 2010-01-06

This patch includes a number of out-of-tree DAHDI drivers from the
dahdi-extra repository. They are all out-of-tree and are highly likely
 not to be included in DAHDI-linux in the forseeable future.

Is that acceptable?

[1] I'm still trying to find someone else to maintain it. If so it will
move to github or the likes.
