Comment(by volter):

 By updating the SpatialIndex wrapper and amending CMakeLists and creating
 a Cmake script, I managed to build QGIS with a systemwide libspatialindex.

 Wonder proposed to update the shipped copy of SpatialIndex and update the
 wrapper, so the user has the choice to use either lib.

 Doing so, would help your problem, I suppose.

 I can provide a patch, but I'm not a 100% sure, everything works correct
 or that my patch is sound, as I am no C++ programmer. Maybe we should do
 that after 1.7.
