A user noted that, by putting the converter cache in the user directory,
we risk running people over their disk quotas, since that cache can get
fairly large. The attached moves the cache to LyX's temporary directory.
Does anyone know a reason not to do this?
Jurgen, this could go to branch, too, if it's otherwise OK.
