Title: Switch to using Subversion for third-party pre-built binaries; move Nati...

@andrewmacp : please review and merge

EVERYONE: THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE THAT REQUIRES YOUR ACTION ONCE MERGED INTO ver-1.2.1-beta

This is the switch to use Subversion to host third-party pre-built libraries instead of the downloadable tarballs from github.com. This means we can properly version the third-party builds just as we do scene graph resources. This requires that you change some of your setup on your local machine to continue building Fabric!

The instructions for checking out the third-party builds are part of the "Building Fabric Engine From Source" guide that's part of the DocBook documentation. Please refer to this guide to understand how to transition. NOTE: if you wish to be able to push changes to the third-party pre-built binary repo instead of just having read-only access, check out the repos with the "svn+ssh:" prefix rather than the "http:" prefix!

We will delete the existing downloads for third party builds as part of the release of 1.2.1-beta.
