no-mirror patch for setup.exe

I want to use setup.exe behind a firewall where it cant see the list of 
mirrors.
This patch creates a -m option for no-mirror. In this case the 
application will not try to get a list of sites and the user is obliged 
to provide a valid site with the existing -s switch.

BTW - The -h help option doesn't seem to work.

Regards,
Jason
