This is the first functional viewer pass with the HTTP work of the texture fetch
code performed by the llcorehttp library. Not exactly a 'drop-in' replacement
but a work-alike with some changes (e.g. handler notification in consumer
thread versus responder notification in worker thread).
This also includes some temporary changes in the priority scheme to prevent
the kind of priority inversion found in VWR-28996. Scheme used here does
provide liveness if not optimal responsiveness or order-of-operation.
The llcorehttp library at this point is far from optimally performing.
Its worker thread is making relatively poor use of cycles it gets and
it doesn't idle or sleep intelligently yet. This early integration step
helps shake out the interfaces, implementation niceties will be covered
soon.

boost::thread and the easiest path to that was to go with the 1.48 Boost release
in the 3P tree (eliminating a fork for a modified 1.45 packaging). One unit test,
the most important one, is failing in test_httprequest but that can be attended
to later. This test issues a GET to http://localhost:2/ and that is hitting the
wire but the libcurl plumbing isn't delivering the failure, only the eventual
timeout. An unexpected change in behavior.

The unit/integration tests don't work yet as I'm still battling cmake/autobuild
as usual but first milestone passed.
