#Various functions associated with checking cache of recently installed packages
#The cache is used to speedup loading of already installed version-controlled
#packages. When a pkg is called for we check if the cache contains it for the
#requested date, and if it does, we go straight to base.library() it.

#0 Get cache path

#1 Read the cache
#2 Add pkg to cache
#3 Initial check that it is up to date (more recent that most recent installed pkg)
