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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Few updates / suggestions.
- Create ./configure option to disable/enable caching for sounds.
- Default SOUNDS_CACHE_DIR=cache with the ability to override.
- Is copying the .tar.gz from the CACHE_DIR back to sounds really
required?  Simply install sounds directly from CACHE_DIR (trivial change to
save HDD space).
- Enable build_tools/prep_tarball to use this logic (more to help with
people building software packages [IE: dpkg])
