* contrib: Unify quoting in error messagesAaron Lindsay2013-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes error messages to display the contents of variables rather than the variable name by replacing backticks with single quotes (m4 eats backticks). It also removes $"" localization from error messages to eliminate security holes. For instance, `rankmirrors nonexistent_file' will now display: 'nonexistent_file' does not exist. rather than: $1 does not exist.

* rankmirrors: move to contrib/Dave Reisner2012-04-24
This script is of questionable value, as it ranks mirrors by an uninteresting attribute: ping. While the script itself is interesting, people should be encouraged to rank mirrors by more useful measures, such as actual speed, locality, or up to date-ness.
