That would be a problem for some builders unless you don't download it
when the file is there... For example, for Debian requiring any form of
net access on a build is a no-go (and for some libs we have to use the
internal versions, and be it sometime, in emergency)
And please also think on people bulding somewhere without net access..
Any such mechanism must be well thought out to prevent being a nuisance.
It needs some kind of caching mechanism. Also the downloaded tarballs
shouldn't get in the way of a dmake clean or something. Stuff to be
downloaded needs a place where it's guaranteed to be available etc etc.
Lots of details to be taken care of.
