I haven't looked at the patch in detail, so some of these questions
may actually make incorrect assumptions.

 1)	What happens if you can't mmap the cache files at the 
	necessary address?
 2)	Different users have different sets of font
	directories. Does this patch support that?
 3)	What about the new <selectfont> elements? These may
	also vary for different users.
