Ok, I changed the cache format so that it uses the same format as
fc-lang generates.  Please test the latest CVS version.

I'm a bit worried, because both Takashi's patch and what I committed
seem to drop |en| from two fonts which *do* have the Euro symbol,
Bitstream Charter and Courier 10 Pitch.  It would be useful if someone
could look into this; I don't have time to do that right now.  Reverting
euro.patch brings these fonts back, so there's probably still a bug in
the charset handling somewhere.
