Description

In large CI environments caching plays an important role for making things run fast. Dune has build cache support that is using local filesystem. Would be awesome to extend this to support distributed caching storage accessed over the network. This could be dune caching daemon that is run over tcp elsewhere, or some HTTP transport (WebDAV support and "just use nginx" maybe?).
