Then update ptlib to 2.4.2 and set opal and company to use ptlib instead of pwlib. the upgrade path would be kind of hairy for people who already have pwlib installed but this may still be the easiest solution. I'm completely open to solutions, however the existing patch causes dependants to break and I'm not sure I have time to clean up after :)

 Agreed. You'd just need to put some thought into the upgrade path for
 people who already have pwlib installed. This may be especially true
 for people who use packages instead of building from source... unless
 you can get the two (pwlib and ptlib) to co-exist?
 
 With ptlib in the tree we could invite maintainers to switch their 
 ports from openh323 to opal and then remove openh323 and pwlib from
 the tree entirely.
