Purpose: Gaudi common set of packages

Gaudi v22r2 (2011-04-20)

Externals version: LCGCMT_60b

General Changes

Modified the way dependencies are computed on Unix: make gcc generate them at the same time of the compilation
(Hubert Degaudenzi)
Fixed VC9 warnings:
- Replaced C-style string manipulation and formatting with C++ (and Boost) implementations.

(Marco Clemencic)
Patch #4722: detect unprotected DEBUG and VERBOSE messages
(Charles Leggett, Marco Clemencic)
