The nice thing with allowing it to be specified is that you can either
end up with
a) unspecified does a private cache, just like now (this is an important
case to keep working, especially when doing multiple builds at a time
from a fast local source)
b) you can specify the system cache if you're pointing at the same repos
as your system.  that can save you download time, etc if you do
keepcache=0 in your system yum.conf or do your system update after
creating a live image
c) you can specify something like /var/tmp/livecd-cache if you want to
have a livecd-specific cache.
