Hello,

I tried ruby-build along with rbenv and I like it but I think it would be even better if it was able to cache the source code of a ruby version.

For instance, today I rebuilt my Ruby 1.9.3 many times (the first time, the second time since I din't have zlib, the third time since I didn't have openssl compilation option) and the download step is quite long and useless. I would be glad to have some cache directory in .rbenv to shorten this step.

What do you think about that? Can I help?
