Might it be worthwhile holding prebuilt external dependencies in
another CVS module to ease building? Blender does this:

http://www.blender.org/development/building-blender/getting-dependencies/

"Blender depends on several 3rd party libraries for some of its
functionality. If you want you can check out the lib module from CVS.
This module contains several directories, each for a different
platform. Depending on the platform it contains some prebuilt
libraries, but not all are available that way, like the Quicktime
SDK."

I have to admit, I gave up on building Csound on windows when I tried
- building all the external dependencies defeated me at an early
stage.

I feel the same way about external dependencies.  It makes things much
easier if they're all in one place.  Some projects even bring the
sources from 3rd parties into their own repository, supplying custom
build files if necessary.  As Michael has said, though, this is a big
job for Csound.  Who would be willing to setup and maintain all those
3rd party libraries?
