I came across this while doing some testing of my ast_channel_ao2 branch.
After running a test overnight that generated over 5 million calls, Asterisk
had taken up about 1 GB of my system memory. So, I re-ran the test with
MALLOC_DEBUG turned on. However, it showed no leaks in Asterisk during the
test, even though Asterisk was still consuming it somehow.
Instead, I turned to valgrind, which when run with --leak-check=full, told
me exactly where the leak came from, which was from allocations inside the
radiusclient-ng library. This explains why MALLOC_DEBUG did not report it.
After a bit of analysis, I found that we were leaking a little bit of memory
every time a CDR record was passed to cdr_radius.
I don't actually have a radius server set up to receive CDR records. However,
I always have my development systems compile and install all modules. In
addition to making sure there are not build errors across modules, always
loading modules helps find bugs like this, too, so it is strongly recommend for
all developers.

now reports AST_MODULE_LOAD_DECLINE when loading if config file
is not there, also fixed an error in res_config_pgsql where it
had a non static function when it should.

- restructured build tree and makefiles to eliminate recursion problems
- support for embedded modules
- support for static builds
- simpler cross-compilation support
