Rats. We need to keep the 'truely global' cache directory separate from
per-user cache directories. That's annoying.

/var/cache/fontconfig should be root writable, per-user caches should
live 'elsewhere'. I don't really want to create another per-user
directory in their home directory, so perhaps we can stuff it in
~/.fonts/fontconfig ?
