There are admittedly painful aspects to the two-step autobuild
mechanism: (1) rebuild the 3p package and (2) update every consumer.

However, one of the benefits of that approach is that we can adjust
the version of a given 3p package consumed by (e.g.) the viewer
without actually having to revert the 3p repository source. We can
just change back the package URL specified in the viewer's
autobuild.xml.

Please forgive me if this should already be on my plate, but I don't
recall a Jira about the openjpeg 1.5.1 issues? Does 1.5.1 fail to load
texture files that are correctly handled by 1.5.0?

I think Cinder has a point: if we can move forward with 1.5.1, we should.
