scripts/functions: add aria2, a powerfull downloader

aria2 is a powerfull downloader that is capable of chunking and
parallel retrieval.

Due to li;itations in crosstool-NG retrieval facilities, it's not possible
to take fully advantage of aria2. It might happen that, in the future,
those limitations get lifted away, so we can take use features such as
parallel downloading from more than one server at the same time. For now,
it should still speed up downloads thanks to parallel downloading of chunks. 
     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:

     2 

     3 Recuring tasks:

     4 

     5 - update versions for every tools...

     6 

     7 

     8 Non-recurring tasks:

     9 

    10 - build our own versions for (minimum versions):

    11     m4          1.4.12

    12     autoconf    2.63

    13     automake    1.10.2

    14     libtool     2.2.4

    15 

    16 - uClinux

    17 

    18 - add newlib (for enhanced bare metal)

    19   - may need heavy tweaks and bends in gcc.sh

    20   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++

    21   - check whether it supports running under uClinux

    22 

    23 - uClibc++

    24   - see newlib, above

    25 

    26 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)

    27   - so we can complie for Windows/Cygwin

    28 

    29 - mingw32 target

    30   - so we can compile for Windows/Win32

    31 

    32 - mingw32 host

    33   - so we can run natively under Windows/Win32 (without requiring Cygwin)

    34 

    35 - eglibc config file

    36   - see: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2009-05/msg00022.html

    37 

    38 - multilib
