libc/newlib: allow using CVS snapshots

The newlib "team" rolls new releases about once a year (december).
This is quite a long time between releases, in case code was fixed.
So, allow user to use a CVS snapshot to benefit early from fixes
and enhancements to newlib.

     6       Newlib is a C library intended for use on embedded systems. It is a
     7       conglomeration of several library parts, all under free software
     8       licenses that make them easily usable on embedded products. Newlib
     9       is only available in source form. It can be compiled for a wide
    10       array of processors, and will usually work on any architecture with
    11       the addition of a few low-level routines.

    30       Saying 'Y' here will allow you to use the bleeding-edge code from
    31       the CVS repository. This may or may not fix your issues, may or may
    32       not build, may or may not crash your machine, may or may not withdraw
    33       money from your bank account, may or may not date your girlfriend,
    34       may or may not resurect Elvis... :-)
    35       
    36       In a word: use the CVS snapshot at your own risk!

    48       Leave empty to use the 'head' of the repository.

    58       Install Atmel AVR32 headers for native AVR32 development. Most
    59       AVR32 MCU devices are supported.

    61       If you do native AVR32 development you want to say 'Y' here.
