New description:

 The SWIG bindings do not call anything in ace or xerces, but due to their
 headers/types leaking out of Foundation/MapGuideCommon, this gives us
 grief when building the PHP api due to its headers conflicting with ACE on
 certain platform definitions (eg. `uid_t`, `gid_t`, `struct dirent`). Also
 the leaking of xerces headers is completely unnecessary

 Our current workaround has been to overlay patched PHP headers to resolve
 such conflicts, but this is not a tenable solution. We should either
 properly encapsulate or `#ifdef` any traces of ACE out of these headers
 when building SWIG bindings.
