Newer versions of yum (2.0 I think) support a ``mirrorlist`` option in the
config file.
I have had intermittent connectivity problems with the master site at
python.org, but I had no idea that pyvault was being mirrored
(extensively) until python.org went down completely.
The build process should
1. create an automatically installable repository file (pyvault.repo)
2. at least one version of this file should use mirrorlist instead of
baseurl
3. provide for updating the mirrorlist whenever mirror status changes
(Down the road we could get really fancy with a script to use GeoIP and
other factors to order the mirror list)
