Description:

This class represents global source code cache for caching
class source in multiple revisions. 

It is intended to replace caching (copy-paste) code in 
CVS/Perforce source code managers in #streamForClass:...

More features are planned in future like setting a limit
for cache size or compressing cached files in a .zip file
to save disk space.
