Bug #158: Write batch script to automate mirror updates

Write something in perl, PHP or sh to automate the process of updating the mirrors. As there are now quite a few mirror sites it is becoming more time consuming to maintain them. The script would need to do the following:

1. Checksum the local file. 2. Upload it to the remote site, checking not to overwrite existing files. 3. Download it from the remote site to a temporary storage directory. 4. Checksum downloaded file and compare. 5. Repeat for each mirror site, starting at step 2. 6. Report a summary errors/success.

The script would take two arguments like this:

script-name [mirror-group] [file(s)...] [mirror-group] [files...] ...

Where the mirror group to use would be a switch like eg "-synergy", "-winswitch" etc.

Optional argument: --force or -f to force overwriting existing files.

I'll just hardcode the list of sites in the script itself, as it's not something I want to distribute for general use. If in need of inspiration, check out Fred Sanchez' python script that he uses for automating the building of packages. That kind of thing.
