The current code in sage-spkg to determine which package to install and whether to download it is too complicated (and probably buggy). Also get rid of calls to the newest_version script, allow gzip compression of .spkg files, get rid of the "download again" part (why was it needed?).
There is one important change in behaviour: when specifying a download URL, it will always download the file, even if a corresponding spkg exists locally. I think this is more in line with expectations. The patch removes much more code than it adds, so it also serves as a clean-up.
