Most OSes these days (or at least the cool ones :) seem to believe
that /usr should be able to be both read-only and shared across
multiple machines. Maybe the default cache dir location should be in
/var instead of /usr?
(Yeah, I know the configure script lets you change it, I'm talking
about defaults.)
