[Fontconfig] Creating cachedir

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Humm, and seems like a slash is missing somewhere:

[behdad at home cache]$ pwd
/home/behdad/.local/var/cache
[behdad at home cache]$ ll
total 48
drwxrwxr-x  2 behdad behdad  4096 Dec 10 02:16 fontconfig
-rw-rw-r--  1 behdad behdad 16384 Dec 10 02:16 fontconfig29cc395f695634896af6925bc549e484.cache-2
-rw-rw-r--  1 behdad behdad 28672 Dec 10 02:16 fontconfig2a4a6418bbcce3c3e071c870ed3b6b61.cache-2


BTW, how are different users handled exactly?  Isn't it possible
to harm other users?
