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.
