CVS CLISP silently fetches files from the net

[Aleksej S. <as...@in...>]

  Hello!

When building CVS CLISP recently I noticed that the build stuck.
I've found that it is waiting for the network.
Please! Don't do such nasty things behind user's back.

If you do want user to fetch file, provide warning message and special flag.
Explaining what it is and why you want it would be nice to read too.
