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.

The idea of not having to download the audio files again and again sounds
appealing to me. That would be an alternate fix to my qualm of the
wontfix-closed https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16807 .
