[Buildroot] Persistent tarball repository

[Marc Lindahl <marc@bowery.com>]

BR2_DL_DIR already there no patch needed... why do you need to move it 
around so much it needs to be in menuconfig?

also I disagree with patching distclean, then it will not behave the 
way all other distcleans everywhere behave.   Make a new option instead 
(though for the life of me I can't figure out what you'd need it for)

my $0.02,
Marc
