     Pkgsrc deliberately hides stuff to get consistent builds.  This is

     asterisk18 has a brand spanking new spandsp option (build tested
only).  Sending me (I'm the OWNER= of comms/aseterisk18) a note
directly or filing a PR will usually elicit a response.  I would like
to see more use of Asterisk on NetBSD.  So if people have a need that
isn't met by the package and it isn't too onerous I'll usually update
the package fairly quickly.
