Please note that the build-data.* files are not intended for normal users to use. They are used by developers to re-build some of the internal databases inside the distribution. They have lots of extra dependencies that aren't needed once you've built the distribution.

The data used in these modules have come from all sorts of places. Most
of them disclaim any responsibility for errors in the data. I disclaim
all responsibility for errors too, even if my code makes your PBX turn
purple.
