Summary:                    [patch] Repeatedly building the asterisk directory
repeatedly downloads the sounds files
Description: 
If you have a source tree, and repeatedly do "make ; make dist-clean" ...
(lather, rinse, repeat) for multiple platforms, then you end up fetching
the sounds files over and over again.

This fix allows one to cache the files outside of the source tree by
setting the variable "SOUNDS_CACHE_DIR" to some path outside the tree.

Subsequent builds will copy the file from there when rebuilding.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Should the definition for SOUNDS_CACHE_DIR be a "?=" define, instead, since
the sounds directory is invoked from another Makefile?  It would be logical
to be able to pass the directory name on the command line (or via an
include) rather than requiring the variable to be set in the sounds
Makefile itself.  Also, would it make sense to allow that directory name to
be set from the configure script itself?

Additionally, in the macro definitions, I'd prefer that "sound" and
"download" be spelled out.
