Comment (by rhaas):

 > The old name exists only for backward compatibility.
 That is true. Yet the change required is small and we usually want
 ExternalLibraries to be as close to a drop in replacement to the old
 "external" interface as possible. This is the reason MPI for example
 provides such a define. So in order to keep backwards compatibility I
 would include the define.

 New ExternalLibraries won't do this of course, only ones that replace
 existing facilities.
