Description
It would be great if node-pre-gyp could cache the fetched bundle from Amazon S3 and simply default to that first if it matches version and whatever criteria node-pre-gyp uses to determine the filename.
Here's a reference issue in NodeGit where we thought of this: https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/issues/379

Research direction
Start by tracing node-pre-gyp's existing Amazon S3 bundle-fetch path and the logic that determines bundle filenames and versions. Define how an OS temporary-directory cache is located and validated before a fetch; done means matching cached bundles are used safely while nonmatching or missing entries still follow the existing fetch path.
