if the eventual ACK has the same streams but only changed the IP
address/port for RTP, then we did not change our RTP send
addresss/port

Special thanks to Julien Puydt, Michael Rickmann, Mounir Lamouri,
Eugen Dedu, Jan Schampera and Yannick Defais for their continuous work
on Ekiga.
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
were moved or renamed.
This was for some from 2008 and 2009 and one from 2001.
Also I noticed that a CHANGES entry was wrong as said "Renamed"
when should have said "Moved" (lua-OSBF) because PKGBASE stayed the
same.

with other SIP compliant software and also with Microsoft NetMeeting.
