Dispatch #4, Agustina added as project secretary, make-in-place build system, and GN

This is actually a quick note covering several important
changes, some 
of which I have been a little late in updating for people.

First, Agustina Vidal had been added as project
secretary-coordinator 
for GNU Telephony.  This actually happened over a month ago,
so I am a 
little late in announcing this .  She is
also empowered to speak 
authoritatively about GNU Telephony and to represent us at
conferences.

Second, I have updated the GNU Telephony project on
sourceforge 
migrating to svn there and committing the
"make-in-place" build tree I 
use for my development (svn co 
https://gnutelephony.svn.sourceforge.net/svnr
oot/gnutelephony/trunk). 
What this allows one to do is configure and build all parts
of GNU 
Telephony without the need to erver do partial "make
install" for 
dependent libraries or the need to create "fake
roots" if one is a guest 
on a machine without root access.  It uses existing
pkgconfig, automake, 
and libtool functionality to achieve this, along with a
master top level 
configure script and Makefile.  This makes it very easy to
deploy 
automated compile farms, to generate embedded &
cross-compile build 
profiles, or to develop on hosts where different/conflicting
versions of 
existing packages we offer may already be installed.

Finally, I will be separately announcing the start of GNU
SIP Witch 
development a little later this weekend...
