[Bf-committers] Libraries source code

Hi,

At the moment the source code to build the libraries required by Blender 
is scattered everywhere:

* github
* sourceforge
* own projects sites
* archived pages on the web (e.g., http.debian.net for the bzip)

For the complete list see: 
`build_files/build_environment/cmake/versions.cmake`


Is there a reason for Blender to not host a copy of the compressed 
source files? Given that we depend on almost 40 different libraries, it 
seems a bit fragile to count on them be online forever.


The zip/tar.gz, ... packages could be stored in: 
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/source


Thanks,

-Dalai-
