[fdo-internals] About Utilities

Ok. As you mention, if you were thinking of integrating, an RFC would need to be generated and put to the community for discussion.

I would love to integrate, but of course needs to have approval of the board.

What i did:

- Splitted mkcatdefs in a separate standalone package. Removed all internal
copy of sources. FDO now compiles with full external libraries. ( except for
sqlite case )

- Splitted svn fdo in several packages, main FDO and providers. Main FDO
package now installs and you can compile any provider package without need to
be inside the fdo sourcedir. So we have real splitted fdo package and
providers package. More sane.

- Removed all hige data of providers package. As test data is fine, but in the
point of view of package release, is just to scary distros to package fdo.

- All build is done with cmake, no need to rely on auto stuff, but i kept
auto*hell stuff to do minimum changes compared svn

- Added proper casts to eliminate as much as possible warnings against gcc. As
known, gcc in every release move current warning for errors, so this warnings
will be errors on next release.
Most of then, is conversion from const strings to pointers. Casting is ok,
works for now, but the proper fix would be relay on proper cosnt function
declarations, since we're dealing just in string copy

- Added a define variable for fdo install dir, now hardcoded for /usr/local.
The var points to default /usr/local, but you can define different place for
install in compilation time

- Added a test to detect new Xalan-C 1_10. So now fdo compiles with both old
included Xalan-C or the current 1_10

For my usage now, i just disabled compilation of SchemaManager and Sqlite
utilities.
