I don't think that's quite true. FcDirScanConfig checks for a global
cache for a directory (FcGlobalCacheReadDir), then for a per-dir cache,
and then scans the directory. If FcGlobalCacheReadDir finds the scanned
directory, it returns the cached data, without checking to see that the
data is out of date or not.
Now, FcGlobalCacheLoad does check the global cache time against the
directory time:
if (stat ((char *) name_buf, &dir_stat) < 0 ||
dir_stat.st_mtime > cache_stat.st_mtime)
// skip dir
but this doesn't check for config updates. I still think we need an
extra clause checking the whole cache file against the whole config
file, otherwise fontconfig will be impervious to changes in the config.
