public interface LocallyAvailableResourceFinder<C>
Can find a locally available candidates for an external resource, through some means.
This is different to our caching in that we know very little about locally available resources, other than their
binary content. If we can determine the sha1 value of an external resource, we can search the local system to see
if a copy can be found (e.g. the local maven cache).
