[mapguide-users] building 64bit openmapguide on rhel 5.4

[Zac Spitzer]

migrating away from using all these third party libs in the oem tree
on linux and use the system ones when possible is a better approach

These three third party libraries should remain in sync to ensure repository stability.  In order to compile with GCC 4.4, we will need to update a significant portion of the Oem tree.  Since we are about to hit beta, I would say any additional changes to third party / Oem libraries would have to be considered on a case by case basis.
