There is a script: fetch-external.py that uses config.py to download
the sources (and also have an option to download the docs in pdf
format)

there is no integration between build.py and fetch-external.py, what I
usually do is:
1) update config.py
2) run fetch-external.py
3) run build.py

having 2 and 3 as a single step might be a good idea ;)
