Dear all,

when looking at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/download.html, I wondered 
whether some parts should be updated.

In particular
- Mentioning the GIT mirror at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GitMirror
- Mentioning CLOOG/ISL for the in-tree build

Those changes I did in the patch below.

However, I am also wondering about the
"It is possible to download a full distribution or specific components."

I think GCC stopped doing so at some 4.x release - but install.html also 
applies to GCC 3.x.y where it still existed. I was thus a bit reluctant 
to remove that part.

Furthermore, I was wondering whether one should link to 
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/ (either directly or by 
mentioning its existence on the mirrors).

What do you think?

Tobias
