Our wget download method normally downloads to a different temporary
file, and then moves the temporary file to the final location once the
download was successful. Hum, but it doesn't remove the temporary file
*before* starting the download:

define DOWNLOAD_WGET
        test -e $(DL_DIR)/$(2) || \
        ($(WGET) -O $(DL_DIR)/$(2).tmp '$(call qstrip,$(1))' && \
         mv $(DL_DIR)/$(2).tmp $(DL_DIR)/$(2)) || \
        (rm -f $(DL_DIR)/$(2).tmp ; exit 1)
endef

So if you have the following sequence:

 1/ wget downloads into tarball.tar.gz.tmp

 2/ wget is interrupted by Ctrl+C, the .tmp file remains

 3/ the build is restarted, so wget runs again, and downloads the file
    again

 4/ the download is successful, and the .tmp file is renamed to the
    final name

Would this sequence be possible?
