I think cyclone is one of the most powerful external libraries, offering a 
lot of basic objects. zexy and the iemlib are also very common libraries. 
And then it depends what you want to do. For opengl renderings you will want 
to use GEM or parts of pdp. for video and movie rendering there is pdp and 
pidip. matju made a great gridflow ibrary. for non realtime processings on 
buffers there is vasp. and there are tons of other externals. if you want to 
have skripting possibilities i recommend the python library of thomas grill 
(pyext), but there are also libraries for C, ruby, ... what else, forth?

still, none of those libraries are really available 90% of time.
