Hm, I wonder whether this idea could not be useful in the current
situation as well.

As I understand it, we first read game.cfg without campaign symbols
defined, to produce the main game cache, and then when a campaign is
read, we re-read all the same files, plus the relevant campaign.
Right ?

If we structure the cache as contents of individal files, then we may
be able to turn the campaign caches as increments of the main cache,
thus gaining both in read/parse time, and in on-disk cache size.  How
does that sound ?
