[sipX-dev] Need a place to put stuff that doesn't have another place to go

[Dale Worley <dworley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm revising the "interoperability test server configuration".  This is
a useful tool, as with not too much work you can set up a sipX server
that can do some fairly rigorous testing of SIP phones for conformance
to the SIP standards that sipX uses.

Previously, I had put this directory into sipXpbx/doc/developer, which
isn't particularly correct, because it's not documentation.  I've moved
it into sipXtools, but that's not correct either, since sipXtools isn't
just a collection of random utilities and stuff, it's an RPM meant to be
installed as system management assistance.

After a few discussions, it seems that there really isn't a "junk
drawer" in sipX, a place to put things that need to be saved, but don't
really have a correct place within the defined directory structure.

At the moment, the best idea I've heard is to have an additional
top-level directory.  The build and release systems will ignore an
additional top-level directory if it's not listed as a directory to be
built.  And I think that the source control system will handle an extra
directory without inconveniencing anyone.

Of course, there's the question of what name to call it.  "sipXother"
seems descriptive but a little strange.  Maybe "sipXextras".

What does everybody think?
