Eelco Dolstra 50321b735b * Basic transparent mirror support in fetchurl (NIXPKGS-70). When
fetching a file with hash HASH of type TYPE, we first try to
  download <base-url>/<type>/<hash>, where <base-url> is one of a list
  of mirrors.  For instance, given

    src = fetchurl {
      url = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.6/source/firefox-2.0.0.6-source.tar.bz2;
      sha1 = "eb72f55e4a8bf08e8c6ef227c0ade3d068ba1082";
    };

  and the mirror list [http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs], we first
  try to download

    eb72f55e4a

  and if that fails, we use the original URL.

  The list of mirrors is not yet user-configurable.

* `fetchurl' now also accepts an argument `urls' instead of `url' for
  a list of alternative download locations, which fetchurl will try in
  sequence.
