buildouthttp doesn't respect the egg cache

[1stvamp]

If you set the buildout egg cache setting eggs will get put in the configured dir path by buildout, but lovely.buildouthttp won't use the cache next time (or rather buildout won't check the cache before hitting the extension).

Not exactly sure what the cause of this is or how to fix it, but it is definitely an issue if you're using the cache as a way to get around downtime (and I am aware of proxy workarounds, but given the functionality exists in buildout I'm loath to use them 😄)

Just throwing this up in case anyone has any ideas, I keep failing to get the time to fully investigate it (one of those things that really only comes up when GitHub is down really).

Isn't that a bug in buildout itself?
