Chris seems to agree (we discussed it on IRC). I'll add local/system
checks to the Linux build system - the code is already in CVS:

 lib-src/redland for the Redland libraries (librdf, Raptor and Rasqal)
 lib-src/liblrdf for liblrdf
 lib-src/slv2 for SLV2

This means that lib-src/libraptor will be retired (we'll use the one
bundled with Redland instead). Did anyone except me commit any changes
in that directory? Any patches that need to be cherry-picked to the new
Raptor?
