I will remove the third party libraries. That's not a problem excepted 
for both of them:
1- The boost library. For technical reason, I prefer to keep a frozen 
version of the boost library inside the openmeca package.
   Because the boost library is used by openmeca to make input/output 
files (*.omc). If different versions of boost are used
   the interoperability of the *.omc is broken and openmeca users can't 
share their files.
2- The chronoengine library because it is not packaged by debian.

If you are ok with this way, I will parse all source files manually to 
get the right copyright statement of these both libraries.
By the way, it may take a long time and a lot of coffee ! :)

Best regards, Damien.
