Alexander Traud 610e058189 BuildSystem: Search for Python/C API when possibly needed only.
The Python/C API is used only if the Test Framework was enabled in Asterisk
'make menuselect'. The Test Framework is available only if the Developer Mode
was enabled in Asterisk './configure --enable-dev-mode'. And that Python/C API
is used only if the PJProject was found and not disabled in Asterisk; the user
did not go for './configure --without-pjproject'.

Furthermore, because version 2 of that Python/C API is required (currently) and
because some platforms do not offer a generic version 2, the script searches
for 2.7 explicitly as well.

To avoid version mismatch between the Python/C API and the Python environment,
the script searches for the latter in the same versions, in the same the order
as well. Because this Python/C API is just for (some) Asterisk contributors,
the script also goes for the Python 3 environment as a last resort for all
other Asterisk users. This allows 'make full' even on minimal installations of
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and newer.

Because the Python/C API is Asterisk contributor specific, the Python packages
are removed from the script './contrib/scripts/install_prereq' as this script
is intended for Asterisk users. Asterisk contributors have to install much more
packages in any case, like:
sudo apt install autoconf automake git git-review python2.7-dev

messages-expire.pl

messages-expire finds messages more than X days old and deletes them.
Because the older messages will be the lower numbers in the folder (msg0000
will be older than msg0005), just deleting msg0000 will not work.
expire-messages then runs a routine that goes into every folder in every
mailbox to reorganize.  If the folder contains msg0000, no action is taken.
If the folder does not, the rename routine takes the oldest message and
names it msg0000, the next oldest message and names it msg0001 and so on.

The file deletion is done by the -exec parameter to 'find'.  It would be far
more efficient to take the output from 'find' and just reorganize the
directories from which we deleted a file.  Something for the future...

Keep in mind that messages are deleted at the beginning of the script you
will have mailbox trouble if you check messages before the script
reorganizes your mailbox.

To use it, make sure the paths are right.  Adjust $age (originally set to
31) if necessary.
