I can easily do that, but I assumed that this could / would be built
on systems without access to an external location.

As such, I'll change it to:

* Check to see if the tarball exists in the pkgdef directory for CherryPy

* If it doesn't, attempt to fetch it automatically

* Failing that, abort the build and let the user know what they need to do

How does that sound?
