Hmm, indeed. but I want one switch to make sure no corrupt cache files stay 
around, as we have way too many problems with them. 

The man page says: 

   Force  re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, overriding the 
timestamp checking.

what does make install have to do with it (curious)? Indeed, the normal 
behaviour whould be to just run "fc-cache" I think.
