Removing pixmap cache?

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Hello,
The subject almost says it all. I am not sure that the pixmap cache (a 
different way of painting where the pixmaps corresponding to strings are 
remembered) is very useful these days, especially with my caching patch 
that also uses QTextLayout objects for painting.

Would somebody object to removing it altogether? Note that this thing 
does not work on Linux for some reason (which means that it is even less 
maintained).

It not be horrible to keep it. It is just a different code path in the 
painter with ~100 lines that behave in a subtly different way from the 
normal code path.
