Fontmap fiiles PostScript font names

Have we considered that the: "fonts.cache-<n>" files should contain the 
PostScript font names?  This appears to be a needed step towards 
eliminating the need for a: "Fontmap" file in each font directory.

Or, perhaps this should be added to FreeType2 or Xft[2].  But, in any case, 
stuff would run faster if a PostScript driver didn't have to read the font 
files to get this information -- if it were cached.
