a big problem, so I decided to require to user to get the
file and put it in some location in the file system. wget
doesn't seem to accept the file scheme however, so I had to
move the copying into the builder itself. The builder checks
the md5 hash of the downloaded file. Maybe having a separate
'fetchfile' would be useful to make a file in the outside
world pure. I tried to add this to build-support, but this
obviously did not work. I still committed it. Just remove it
if you think that it sucks.

* Classification scheme for packages
- many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the
*primary* purpose of a package. For example, the libxml2 package
builds both a library and some tools; but it's a library foremost,
so it goes under ./development/libraries.
- when in doubt, refactor.
IF it's used to support SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT:
IF it's a LIBRARY used by other packages:
IF it's directly related to GTK:
./development/libraries/gtk+
ELSE
./development/libraries
(e.g., libxml2)
ELSE IF it's a COMPILER:
./development/compilers
(e.g., gcc)
ELSE IF it's an INTERPRETER:
./development/interpreters
ELSE IF it's a development TOOL (or set of):
IF it's a PARSER GENERATOR (incl. lexers):
./development/tools/parsing
(e.g., bison, flex)
ELSE IF it's a BUILD MANAGER:
./development/tools/build-managers
(e.g., gnumake
ELSE
./development/tools/misc
(e.g., binutils)
ELSE
./development/misc
ELSE IF it's a TOOL (or set of):
# a tool is a relatively *small* program, esp. one intented to be
# used non-interactively
IF it's for NETWORKING:
./tools/networking
(e.g., wget)
ELSE IF it's for TEXT PROCESSING:
./tools/text
(e.g., diffutils)
ELSE IF it's a SYSTEM utility, i.e., something related or essential
to the operation of a system:
./tools/system
(e.g., init)
ELSE IF it's an ARCHIVER (which may include a compression function):
./tools/archivers
(e.g., zip, tar)
ELSE IF it's a COMPRESSION program:
./tools/compression
(e.g., gzip, bzip2)
ELSE
./tools/misc
ELSE IF it's a SHELL:
./shells
ELSE IF it's a SERVER:
IF it's a HTTP server:
./servers/http
(e.g., apache)
IF it's a X11 server:
./servers/x11
(e.g., xfree86)
ELSE
./servers/misc
ELSE IF it's a DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT (incl. WINDOW MANAGERS):
./desktops
(e.g., kde, gnome, fvwm)
ELSE IF it's an APPLICATION:
# a (typically large) program with a distinct user interface,
# primarily used interactively
IF it's a VERSION MANAGEMENT system:
./applications/version-management
ELSE IF it's for VIDEO playback/etc:
./applications/video
ELSE IF it's for GRAPHICS viewing/editing/etc:
./applications/graphics
ELSE IF it's for NETWORKING:
IF it's a MAILREADER:
./applications/networking/mailreaders
IF it's a NEWSREADER:
./applications/networking/newsreaders
ELSE
./applications/networking/misc
ELSE
./applications/misc
ELSE IF it's DATA (i.e., doe not have a straight-forward executable semantics):
IF it's related to SGML/XML processing:
IF it's a XML DTD:
./data/sgml+xml/schemas/xml-dtd
ELSE IF it's an XSLT stylesheet (okay, these are executable...):
./data/sgml+xml/stylesheets/xslt
