Johannes has prepared a de-CGALed version in his  
johannr/optional-use-system-packages branch at
https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/mshr/overview,
at commit 21d97cc, see
https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/mshr/commits/all

If you're handy with git, it could be useful to test if it's working as
planned. Delete mshr's CGAL subdirectory and see if it correctly
locates the system CGAL.

mshr's CGAL copy also has some patches (that's part of the reason why
they kept their own copy) which we'll need to push to CGAL upstream.
