It might be ok for the system-wide config file.  I suppose the aim is to make
sure systems set global cachedir, as to prevent every user to have their own
cache of all the system fonts.  But we should definitely skip the warning for
custom config files.

What's the NULL has to do here?  Oh you mean creating a FcConfig with no
configuration whatsoever?  FcConfigCreate() does that.

Reading from memory is useful.

What would go into the minimal config?

I discussed this in detail in my blog post.  I don't think there's a clear line
between minimal config and full config.
