Scene graph dependencies

Currently the only dependancy of the core scene graph libraries (osg,osgUtil -and osgDB) is Standard C++ and OpenGL. The osgText library, osgGLUT and osgWX +and osgDB) is Standard C++ and OpenGL. The osgText library, osgGLUT have the following dependancies, these arn't core libraries so arn't needed to be compiled unless you need that feature.
