[opensource-dev] Review Request: Modify Viewer to statically link to KDU v6.4.1 if available

Basically, if you build a viewer, you can't include KDU in it, unless 
you have a license to do so. Assuming that you *do* have a license to do 
so, you cannot then distribute that viewer to any other person unless it 
is allowed by that license.

Linden Lab doesn't - insofar as I am aware - have a license that allows 
it to distribute any of the code to us or to anyone else - therefore, 
any viewer you build based off the code-base that supports static KDU 
linkage can't be built - by you or me or anyone - to include KDU 
statically, unless you've purchased a license from Kakadu.

tl;dr: No KDU for you, unless you pay Kakadu for it. You will have to 
build with an alternative JPG2K library, otherwise.
