from the beginning, there's architectural problem to keep our own copies of 
softwares inside vtigercrm. We must deal with all licenses problem.

We must focus on vigercrm code only and integration with external 
dependencies. Yes, it's only dependencies and not vtigercrm core code.
These 3rd party software must be packaged correctly by packagers, it's their 
job.

vtigercrm really need code cleanup, and a modular view of vtigercrm 
"distribution".
