Most of those libs are leftovers from the xbox days. Current way of doing is
that we use system libs were its possible (so we try to move old non-patched,
or just xbox patched to system libs). Some platforms need the libs though, OSX
and win32, these are placed in libs and can safely be disregarded on linux, the
xbmc/libs should only contain our own libs were we are upstream, although these
might not be possible to move to external since they may interact with xbmc way
to closely (jsonrpc is an example of this).

As said, we are quite a bit in a tumble and still a lot of the xbox nastiness
is left :)

Cheers,
