I wasn't aware of that it is was version controlled.
According to Jan's mail: It is possible to omit the externals when you are
checking out something with the svn:external property set.
The svn:external property doesn't allow you to choose the destination
directory of the externals, does it?
In ouy case we want the .. directory of osg, so OpenThreads and
OpenSceneGraph can reside in the same directory.

Hi Joakim,
That is pretty much what svn:externals does. It is just a script that
pulls
in different locations of libraries. It is also version controlled. The
advantage of the svn:externals is that it will run on all platforms
where as
scripts need to be modified per platform.

IMHO a better alternative to the limited external property is
to have a script that checks out dependencies. The script is
optional to run, so if you don't want/need any external
dependencies, you simply don't run the script. The script
could check out any version of the dependencies.
The most powerfull advantage, is that the script itself is
version controlled!!!! This means that if you check out an
older version of openscenegraph, you'll get the correct
version of all the dependencies, that was current at that time.
