About the issue being reported at the list,
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2013-November/004983.html

In current implementation, given that a directory contains sub-directories and
font files, fontconfig doesn't support to update a cache for either direstories
or files. it will be done in one API call. so it needs to be split up to allow
updating either them at least.

furthermore we may need to take an action either:

a) support the deserialization of the cache and update the directory cache only

b) have the directory entry cache and the file entry cache separately


b) looks like simpler to me though, any comments and/or any other idea are
welcome.
