It allows you to select modules you want to have statically compiled
into the asterisk binary, as opposed to having them as dynamically  
loaded
modules.

According to the presentation at astricon there are a couple of  
reasons you might want
to do this:
	1) because your platform does not support dynamic loading :-)
	2) because you are debugging multiple versions and you want
certainty about which version you are running.

I'm sure there are other reasons folks can come up with.
