How about an "elsewhere" list for finding dependencies?

I was going nuts trying to compile CM for the FIRST time on a brand new
system.  Got all the usual dependencies; but finding the right package
that provided EXTERN.h was sheer hell...  Just noticing the missing
EXTERN.h was painful among the long list of deprecated messages.

Finally found and installed perl-devel and success...    but too late to
see Ron's request for how to copy a directory structure only.  Sorry
Ron... :/

On the bright side: "make -j20" is ssswwweeeeeettttt...  :) 

Cheers,
Pierre
