2013-09-18contrib: Unify quoting in error messagesAaron Lindsay
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.

2012-04-24rankmirrors: move to contrib/Dave Reisner
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.
