Remote file access

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello,

Delphine has done some great work on the toolbox management system [1].
And we are now in step where we need to get rid of unix("wget") for a
more evolved and portable system to retrieve remote files/archives.

The main solution considered is to connect the lib curl [2] to Scilab. 
A way of providing the feature to the user could be the one PHP or
Python are using.

An opinion on this ?
