<pre>If user has specified config file, don't warn about missing cachedir. As an
app that wants to load only custom fonts, I can add a minimal config file like
this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>../fonts</dir>
<cachedir prefix="xdg">fontconfig</cachedir>
</fontconfig>
but really, I don't care about cachedir. Since caching is safe (it takes care
of stale caches etc), user should be able to leave it out.
Warning about default config not having cachedir is different. Even then I'm
not sure it's a good idea.</pre>
