We could have a profile hook that creates the cache, but how would we
arrange to have ~/.cache/fontconfig pointing to the right thing?

I mean ‘guix package’ could modify ~/.cache/fontconfig, but that’s not
something we’ve done until now (‘guix package’ only touches
~/.guix-profile and /var/guix/profiles.)

Thoughts?
