Currently there are none.
If you're building software in such an environment, you have lots of issues
to contend with in addition to someone altering the cachedir files.

Generally we don't check target file modification either (assuming nothing
depends on a given target file as source to another builder).
Though in that case it would just case a rebuild of the target which
depends on it, not a specific notice that it had been modified.
