Adding a new distro, updating GHC versions, ...
This script makes use of two files:


.download-urls,
which is meta information on what binary tarball to download for the given version, architecture and distribution.
If you know your distribution XY works with a tarball, add a <distroname>=<distrover> key to that line. <distroname>
will be the fallback and after that unknown. Lines are unique per tarball url.

.available-versions,
which just lists available upstream versions and tags.
