DPS libraries clashes with other libraries

[m-kotowski]

DPS brings its own set of libraries, for example, libcurl.

If the operator that calls the DPS functions, is fused with another operator that requires libcurl, problems might occur.

For example: The FTP operators from the inet toolkit require libcurl. The system's libcurl supports sftp, but the libcurl that is provided with the DPS toolkit, does not.

From my point of view, we have two possible solutions:

• The DPS toolkit brings its own libraries but with DPS-specific names, so there cannot be any name clash.
• The DPS toolkit does not provide any libraries but uses the system libraries. In this case, it is up to the user to install the proper libraries via, for example, rpm.

I would prefer the 2nd option.
