[Couenne] Configure, build and install Couenne

Hi,

the latest stable branches and releases of ThirdParty projects have some 
workarounds for the broken FTP access to netlib.
For Blas and Lapack, they use HTTP access.
For ASL, this does not work (there is no solvers.tar via http), but it 
now downloads from the Sandia mirror, if netlib-ftp doesn't work. 
Unfortunately, also sandia.gov was offline from time to time recently.

Anyhow, we are working on a solution that makes us more independent of 
netlib (and more dependent on the coin-or server, instead).

Stefan
