Hrm. Because the set of directories that can be scanned depends on the
configuration, which can be set by the user, a single global daemon
would be difficult to manage.

Requiring that fc-cache be run after installing fonts might be more
practical. One issue with this is on multi-arch systems where you need
*two* cache files, but you only get one fc-cache program in your path.
