Updating AnalysisBaseExternals for use with AnalysisTop

This feature branch has been developed to include the BAT package in the External directory. The External/BAT has the CMake information to download and compile the package. External/BAT/cmake provides the FindBAT.cmake module.

The Boost version for LHAPDF was also updated to increase the minimum required value as 1.41 is not compatible with gcc62 and it has been updated to 1.47 which is the minimum recommended version (error in compilation had pointed here: http://codemuse.co/2013/08/06/boostforeach-and-compiler-bugs). We should always be building something newer than 1.41 I think, but I would suggest we update this minimum value in the CMakeLists.txt file for safety though.

This branch has been successfully compiled using the atlas_checkoutexternals and atlas_buildexternals scripts to compile this branch.
