Basically it's a stupid lookaside cache - if a file is already
downloaded, it's not downloaded again.  But there is no expiry, size
limits, etc.

InstantMirror might be a more maintainable solution, but I found --cache
to be the easiest way to ease the pain of trying to repeatedly build
live cds in quick succession.
