[kepler-dev] Build Script - Checking out Ptolemy

[Matt Jones]

Switching the default build to use ptolemy's svn over https makes sense to
me, as it will help most developers who only need a read-only copy of the
ptolemy module to build, and avoids firewall issues that block ssh ports.
 For those few Kepler developers who have write access to ptII, I think they
can easily set up a separate svn+ssh checkout to make their changes.

I prefer that this change happens after the 2.0 release, as we don't want to
delay that.
