No CGM objects ever leave the DagMC interface or are made available to clients.  The only reason they are referenced in the header is because a vector storing RefEntity*s is a DagMC member variable.  This solution (getting rid of the header's #ifdefs) is what is done by r4016.

That would be an unusual thing for a library to require, especially one that already uses autoconf.
