Well, there are no changes in the cache file format this time. the cache file
itself is completely compatible with the older version. this is totally the
configuration issue since fontconfig basically doesn't have hardcode path in
the binary. and I'd avoid extra time to regenerate the cache files due to the
changes of cache dir for the user space if any. this is why I want to keep the
older places in the configuration somehow.

If we don't need to worry about creating '$XDG_CACHE_HOME' dir when using on
older fontconfig, that's okay. though it still looks ugly to me.. even though I
made this patch ;o)
