scripts/functions: svn retrieval first tries the mirror for tarballs
The svn download helper looks for the local tarballs dir to see if it
can find a pre-downloaded tarball, and if it does not find it, does
the actual fetch to upstream via svn.
In the process, it does not even try to get a tarball from the local
mirror, which can be useful if the mirror has been pre-populated
manually (or with a previously downloaded tree).
Fake a tarball get with the standard tarball-download helper, but
without specifying any upstream URL, which makes the helper directly
try the LAN mirror.
Of course, if no mirror is specified, no URL wil be available, and
the standard svn retrieval will kick in.

7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both
8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This
9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and
10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too
11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply
12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get
13 stuck waiting for the second reply.
15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might
16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications
17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect
20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
