I used "cache" rather than "tmp" since the point was to keep the tarballs 
around.

Since that code was already there, that is what is used for the download.  If 
the download seems successful, the file is renamed back 
to its original name so that it can be found again in the future.

The point of the patch is that you could do `make download` then `make tidy` 
and then `make download` again without having to download 
all of the source files again.  If you change the kernel or glibc, it might be 
a good idea to start the build from scratch and this way 
the original tarballs are still around which is handy for us with slower 
internet connections.
