Respect pip caches #32

Open Wilfred opened 10 years ago

Pip already includes caching: http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/pip_install.html#download-cache and you can globally set it by writing download-cache = ~/my-pip-cache to ~/.pip/pip.conf. We should respect that setting rather than rolling our own.

If a user is already using pip with caching, pkglib misses out on all those cached packages.
