Fixed in git head. See the leapfetch=no option, documented in build.txt.

leapsecond.py uses urllib to fetch its data from internet, unfortunately urllib doesn't support HTTP proxies that requires authentication.

Unfortunate users (like me at work) can't build gpsd from git because scons get completely stucked when running leapsecond.py!

Possible solutions:
- modify leapsecond.py to use a package that support HTTP proxies with authentication
- modify SConstruct to not download data unless requested by the developer.
