[pony-build] pony-build Cache Dir

[Max Laite]

Get some feedback on the following....

For the cache_dir creation....we make a function to do the tests to see if
~/.pony_build exists...

1) If it does just return true
2) If it doesn't make it and return true.
3) Return false if it cant. Just to be complete i guess.

The code for this should be trivial.

Inside the *Clone classes, you just call it before you start running the
checkout stuff, or maybe just have it run before any of the *Clone classes
are called. Either way, .pony-build will always be created if it is not
there...then inside the different classes you just do the tests for the
repo_dir and do the initial co's when needed.

Those are my thoughts on the next step for "prettying" the implementation
up.
