flock is now built in configure, to allow serial downloads
Until now, we were using `flock' (file-lock) for downloading the input datasets in series. But we couldn't do this when downloading the software tarballs because `flock' wasn't yet available. Generally, unlike processing, downloading is much better done in series than in parallel. To enable serial downloads of the software also, with this commit we are installing `flock' in the configure script (not in a Makefile). As a result, besides `flock', we can also benefit from the other good features of the `reproduce/src/bash/download-multi-try' script *(for example attempting download again after some time). Some GNU mirrors may have problems at the time of download, so with this commit, we are using the main GNU FTP server for GNU programs.
