Makefile: introduce PROG_NAME to contain the 'ct-ng' executable name
With the upcomming --program-{prefix,suffix,transform-name} options,
we'll have a need to centralise the actual executable name, that is
now no longer be a constant.
Rather than spread the prefix/suffix through-out the code, just
centralise the name setting in one place. Beside, transform-name
would not be possible without setting the name at a single location.

configure: document ignored switches
Autostuff tradiotionnally have some switches to set host, build and
target systems, static or shared libs, and a bunch of others...
In the crosstool-NG case, they do not matter, as crosstool-NG is
just a set of scripts (there are C files, but they are compiled
after installation, at runtime, so it does not count).

libc/glibc: change default of "forced unwind" to 'y'
Virtually all our targets do support stack unwinding. For some of
them, ./configure can't detect that, and the build fails later on.
So, default to force unwind, and let the user disable it if it
breaks in his/her case.
The previous changeset (f44286235a07) was empty, as spotted by Benoît.

debug/gdb: we don't care if the host tic is shared or static
Because we need our own host tic, we have to build it; and we do build
it statically for now.
But as MacOS/Darwin/Whatever-you-call-it does not support static linking
(what a shame!), it fails.
Anyway, we don't really care it being shared, in the end.

scripts/functions: test for decompressors before use
./configure does check for the presence of gz and bzip2, so we can
safely use them in the build scripts.
On the other hand, more recent formats (eg. XZ) are not yet widely
available, and we do not want, and can't, force the user to install
them as a pre-requisite.
So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available
decompressors. For no, this is a static list, but the upcoming XZ
support will conditionnaly add to this list.

configure: add test for xz-utils
Some upstream now release tarballs compressed with xz, along with the
more traditional bzip2 and/or gzip tarballs. xz (and its predecessor
lzma) achieves better compression, so is a good candidate to shorten
the time it takes to download the source tarballs.
Enable downloading xz-cmopressed tarballs if the user has xz-utils.

where LINUX_VERISON is set to the fake version="custom"

samples: do not use the mirror by default
As the mirror is always tried first, and the default is my server,
it means every download will first hit my server. As I do not have
much mirrored there, it means a lot of time is lost.

need it for the uClibc snapshot.

scripts/functions: remove messages about failed downloads
When downloading via svn/cvs/... an attempt to retrieve from the
mirror is made. If the mirror does not have the required tarball,
an error message is printed. This is misleading, as the download
may later succeed via svn/cvs/...
Remove the messages about failed downloads altogether.
At the same time, use "if ... then ... fi" instead of "... && ..."

scripts/functions: always prefer the mirror
Currently, the mirror can be used either:
- as a fallback in case upstream is unavailable (default behavior)
- as the preferred source for downloads
But the most common use-case seems to provide a truely-LAN mirror
to speed up downloads in big corpos', and/or provide a 'trusted'
source for the tarballs.
So, make the following changes;
- if a mirror is specified, always try that before trying upstream

scripts/functions: cvs retrieval first tries the mirror for tarballs
The cvs 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 cvs.
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 cvs retrieval will kick in.

configure: do not require svn
svn is needed to download eglibc from the upstream repository.
In some situations, though, it can happen that:
- the developpers' machines do not have svn
- a LAN mirror has been set-up with pre-downloaded eglibc tarballs
In this case, it makes sense not to hard-depend on svn.
So, if svn is missing, just say so, and add a comment in the
menuconfig.
