Sounds good to keep them up-to-date.  But if a library makes a 
source-incompatible change or introduces a bug, it could cause some scrambling 
on our end to catch up with API changes, or falling back to the last-known-good 
version.  So, use their HEADs most of the time but also have the ability to 
freeze for short periods at a specific SHA1? or use actual tagged releases most 
of the time but also have some way of falling back?
