Comment (by rhaas):

 On danger of exposing myself to friendly fire: unless we can make sure
 that the ExternalLibraries scripts and the changes for multi-arch work
 properly on (almost) all machine we need to support (I am exlucing all
 clusters since there we almost always provide explicit paths in simfactory
 option lists) that is at least OSX (macports and homebrew), long term
 supported Ubuntu, current Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian (stable, testing?),
 Windows Cygwin (?).

 If not we should revert all changes and restore the state of the last
 release which, while undesirable in that it build from source too often,
 at least otherwise works.
