New description:
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.
