Eelco Dolstra f881f7a017 * nix-prefetch-url: support caching. If the environment variable
NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE is set, then nix-prefetch-url will store the hash
  and timestamp of downloaded files in the directory
  $NIX_DOWNLOAD_CACHE.  This allows it to figure out if the file is
  still in the Nix store.
