autoinstall can get confused and fail to download mechanize

Especially if users happen to control-c during the download.

We need to handle this case better.  We need to log more to explain to users what's going on.

The easy fix is to ask people to just remove "autoinstall.cache.d"

Right now autoinstall is puting autoinstall.cache.d in $CWD, but it really  should put it in a standard location, like WebKitTools/Scripts.   See bug 33365.

The autoinstall module has since been rewritten to use a standard location (and so no longer uses autoinstall.cache.d, etc):

Marking this resolved.
