Building all externals as single files is not that important. What's 
important is to have and use the externals. I was able build most of the 
CVS externals, which is more than what is in the build/src directory. 
There should be maintainers for each platform (Mac,Windows,Linuxes), that 
would share information on difficult to build externals. This effort 
would help the community more than trying to fit all submitted externals 
into an ideal framework.
