 libspatialindex is used by the python rtree module, but when this module
 is loaded from within a QGIS python plugin, the symbols from the builtin
 copy of spatialindex collide and render the python rtree module
 inoperable.

 How to reproduce:  install the rtree python module.  Start QGIS and open a
 python console:
 {{{
 >>> import rtree
 >>> p = rtree.index.Property()
 >>> p.set_storage(0)
 True
 >>> p.get_storage()
 1
 >>>
 }}}

 Stepping through in gdb shows that
 libspatialindex.so:Tools::PropertySet::getProperty is shadowed by a
 function of the same name in libqgis_core.so.
