[imps] build.py --local [was: local install on Centos 6, BUILD SUCCESSFUL, but not quite ...]

[Michael[tm] Smith]

I don't remember now if I mentioned this already or not, but if you run the
build script with the "--local" option, it will not make any requests to
www.iana.org or wiki.whatwg.org. It will instead used cached copies of the
pages it would otherwise request from those sites.
