Add support for building toolchains with gcc-4.4 snapshots.
Initial patch by Dmitry PLOTNIKOV: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2009-03/msg00053.html
It [the toolchain] uses current ct-ng (nightly snapshot 20090324, latest
release 1.3.2 work also), glibc 2.9 (from CVS), binutils 2.19 and latest
snapshot of GCC 4.4.0 (as of March 20, 2009).

We have successfully built linux kernel 2.6.29 and a lot of other stuff
with this toolchain.

Here's the patch that adds GCC 4.4.0 to the ct-ng menu and enables it to
download a 4.4.0 snapshot from ftp.

Patch was adpated by me, mostly to better fit the configuration layout.

Finally make ncurses-5.7 corctly build:
- find the executables extension (needed under some OS, like Winblows)
- build tic in //
- simplify the make and install command lines

Final touch to the ncurses build step:
- use build tools to build tic, instead of native ones.

So I guess need to build ncurses host stage to build new tic

and provided a patch to that efect.

And in fact, we do need "tic" to run on the _build_ system to properly
generate the terminfo database.

Note: this is fully functional, but still requires a litle bit of
tweaking so that ${CT_BUILD}-gcc gets used instead of plain gcc.
But that's a minor problem for now...

Fix the menuconfig comment stating that native gdb needs a native ncurses
library, rather than saying it needs the ncurses library on the target.

Sanitise using glibc cvs exports:
- recently, tarballs for glibc 2.8 and 2.9 have appeared on the GNU ftp site
- always use a dot in version strings (eg. 2.9, not 2_9)

Do not copy ecj.jar when it's not required.
