[mapguide-internals] mgos 2.1 state

[Jackie Ng]

Absolutely agreed. The Linux user story is quite woefully bad right now.
Ideally we should have binary rpm and/or apt packages. Is creating
distributable binaries that much more difficult in Linux? 

I still dream of the day I can go: 

sudo apt-get install mapguideopensource-x.y.z 

Instead of having to build from source and tremble in fear at gcc's cryptic
compiler error messages :-)
