[Freeswitch-users] embedded freeswitch compatable hardware

[Michael Jerris]

I think I fixed the spandsp cross compile issues tonight, but I suspect there is a good chance that I broke other builds in the process.  I also did a bunch of work to make the OS X Snow Leopard build cleaner today.  Testing would be much appreciated on both.
