   It should be possible to build in a gitian VM without access the internet. At the least there needs to be a documented workaround for this (maybe this exists but we just didn't find it). @sipa tried this yesterday and didn't succeed in building, even after manually triggering download and copying the cache, ie

   cd bitcoin/depends
   make download
   cp sources/* $GITIAN_PATH/cache/common
   

   ... but the builder still tried to download e.g. the .jar files..

   ACK. This is do-able right now, but it's a clunky manual process. I'll add a straightforward method and documentation for it.
