Whats the Asterisk DB? Is it stored in an RDBMS?

I suppose the way the mail viewer works would be closest. But I guess  
its too difficult.

There should be some places left where this is done (checks for the  
mailer?), search for 'has' and 'bundlemanager'.

Be careful not to link the teams application against Asterisk  
specific bundles. If you need to access code in optional parts, you  
need to resort to 'NSClassFromString' to lookup classes.
