 Apt could use an optional parameter to specify the location of the package
 cache directory. This will make it easier to test concurrent o4w installs
 on the same machine, or different machines across a network, and lighten
 the bandwith load by letting them share the same cache directory.

 Also consider this: if --cache=... is used with "apt setup" the cache
 location is written into .../etc/setup/lastcache, which would help #43
