Here is a very rough idea..
How about keeping it simple.
for the SMSC/bearerbox end - a config file that specifies a smsc_type, and 
the entry function names and a .so that we can use dlopen to load.
eg for smpp it could look like this

group=smsc_module
smsc_type=smpp
so_file=smsc_smpp.so
smsc_create=smsc_smpp_create

Then for the "smsbox" end. These are essentially "standalone" apps that 
connect to Kannel via bearerbox and send messages.

So I think we should split the gw directory again, much like we split of 
gw/smsc

kannel/gwlib
kannel/gw
kannel/smsc
kannel/boxes/smsbox : split out the smsbox
kannel/boxes/wapbox : split out the smsbox
...
Then the
add on boxes can fit into there own kannel/boxes/foobar directory, or even 
in a totally separate tree. One could even supply binaries (though 
hopefully not) of boxes, or build Kannel support into commercial apps using 
libs other than gwlib.

The configure/make can work just like smsbox, wapbox etc do now.  When and 
as new "front end" modules get added we can add --with-smpp --with-emi 
--with-apachemod.........
