jhalfs: Downloading / copying of kernel tarball even if no CONFIG set
user name

Hi guys,

Just because the CONFIG variable isn't set, can't we have
the kernel 
tarball copied anyways? Reason is this:

Building a new system here but I simply don't have a kernel

configuration file yet. It'll be the first time building a
kernel on 
this particular machine. But I'd still like the kernel
tarball to be 
downloaded by jhalfs so it'll be available when I get
around doing a 
manual kernel configuration and build.

Or is there a reason why even the download is skipped? Maybe
there 
should be a different variable that controls the downloading
of a tarball.

Maybe ..

The kernel download was skipped when no config file is
defined, as a request 
by some people, due the fast moving kernel versions
upgrades. Not downloading 
the kernel allow the user to keep downloaded a kernel with
major version and 
download only the minor version patch when required.

I will see if an extra configuration option can be added to
download it under 
request when no configuration file is supplied.
