Hrm, I sense security/privacy issues:
* Do we pull down script sources into the local cache? If so, the next
user who comes along can read your script source.
* If two of us are sharing a computer and we both have read/write access
to the same cache, I can inspect the cache to find out what you've been
looking at (ow, my eyes!)
I'll admit these are semi-obvious cases of "don't do such-and-such on
public/shared computers!" and on everyone's-running-as-admin hosts we're
already in that state.
