[build2] build2 bootstrap n00b failures

[Brendan Leber]

Karen,

Thanks!  That helped!  Once I got past the certificate error I had
another problem with an internal proxy server.  Just so others can
learn from my experience by using `tsocks' I was able to get around
the proxy server.  The command I used was:

$ tsocks bpkg-stage fetch --fetch-option --no-check-certificate

I've had to prepend `tsocks' to several commands but so far they've all worked.
