Well, sounds like a reasonably sized C++ project :-) On a more serious note: Are you aware of so called Superbuilds?

Speaking from personal experience, I've found that Superbuild projects do scale quite well and managing a large set of (external) thirdparty dependencies is usually not as bad as it might look.
