Add mirror support for vcpkg_download_distfile
#58

Do you think about a local cache ? Like downloading all libraries and ship them along with vcpkg ? |

I think mirrors are definitely a great idea. Additionally, we already first check the |

I'm working on this issue right now. |

In #83 I opted for the second option: once a file successed to download, I never try to download anymore, even if the HASH doesn't match. |

When I pre-download files, sometimes I have to add a prefix like 'msys-'. If you look in the downloads temp folder, it will create an empty file while attempting to download and this will help give a clue of the filename it expects, which is not always the same as the filename it is downloading. |
Allow toStr from string
port files refer directly to URLs of external websites, e.g. for Curl:
"https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.48.0.tar.bz2". That is very brittle, in that if that site were to go down, suddenly potentially a lot of programmers can't build their code.That may be an acceptable trade-off for individual programmers, but for a larger organization having the teams ability to work depend on many external sites may be a deal breaker, unless there was some easy way to (locally?) cache things.
