There is now a --cachedir command line option for telling the server where to 
store the cache.  If that option is not given, the defaultCacheDir() function 
in Utils/Prefs.pm is supposed to determine a reasonable default.  However, on 
Unix systems it doesn't manage to do so. 
 
The following patch sets the Unix default cachedir to the home directory.
