[sldev] GCC4.4.x Was: SNOW-272 patch posted

[Mike Dickson]

The first issue I hit was with the incompatibility around the boost
library.  But the writable string thing is a good one too.

I've also done a fair bit of debugging around sound issues and
pulseaudio.  Most of the problems I've traced to the openal library
really not dealing well with pulseaudio in general.  I'll keep tinkering
with that but I really wanted to get snowglobe building on a recent
distro first so I could base any changes I did off of it.
