[sldev] "easybuild" branch, courtesy Kitware

[Glen]

When do they expect to have it done again? I'm eager to try it.

Do they plan to have the OSS libraries auto-download as source, with the 
closed ones downloaded per architecture? 64-bit closed libraries is kind 
of important I think, since if we can't build them ourselves we'll at 
least need them for the right architecture. Vivox comes to mind - I 
don't want to lose something that's working now.

Questions abound.
