Could we get some more information on this?  How many libraries are included? 
How many are dead upstream and how many won't accept brl-cad's patches?  Where
were the patches sent to?

Where the libraries are dead upstream, the best thing to do would be for
brl-cad upstream to take over (or release a renamed fork) with their modified
versions.  Where the upstreams don't want the changes we should find out why
(a) the upstreams don't want them and (b) why brl-cad does.  Then we'd have to
decide whether to work with brl-cad to phase out the need for the library, work
with the library upstream to clean up the changes for inclusion, or get someone
(hopefully brl-cad) to maintain the forked version.
