PHP 7.1

Boxfile

    runtime: php-7.1

nanobox run OK 😄

More information

• Also, I try with composer require and require-dev empty
• Maybe its related with Ocramius/PackageVersions#18, but php-7.1 runtime requieres an update on nanobox images server, I think.

It's a bug related cache_dir. This is how can I reproduce the error.

pablorsk $ cat boxfile.yml | grep runtime
    runtime: php-7.1
pablorsk $ nanobox run
/app $ composer install # all its ok
/app $ exit
pablorsk $ git checkout some_branch_with_php70
pablorsk $ cat boxfile.yml | grep runtime
    runtime: php-7.0
pablorsk $ nanobox run
# CRASH !!!

Only solution is nanobox destroy (or, more complex, do inside machine rm -rf vendor/*)

This problem can be solved, maybe, with #84. And prevent another issues like #100. Is not related with composer version. Nanobox uses allways (for now) 1.6.3 version.
