Introduction
A number of our external libraries are in need of upgrades.

Staying with version 2.5.1, but in need of reorganization.

Options we set up in GLAST for building ROOT from source:

Note: Please check the configuration used by the ROOT developers to see if there are additional flags we may be interested in.
Other Libraries we'll get to in good time:
