Title: Allow bin/vendor checkout transport method to be overridden manually.

In one particular environment I cannot checkout using vendors.php using the default http:// transport methods, but only git://

This patch gives complete freedom to override the default.

My motivation for this patch is to allow continuous integration (previous phing patch closed which included this required change) since multiple regular checkouts to github via http protocol get blocked more but git based protocol transport don't. Without this, vendors.php may not always work and it's required to get the dependencies in order to be able to run the unit tests.
