Ted, do you have any objection to extend the high-level API with
blkid_set_cachefile()? From my point of view this request makes
sense. It seems the patch is waiting in your queue to e2fsprogs.
The ideal solution would be to have the 'filename' argument in the
blkid_put_cache() (we have it for blkid_get_cache()). Unfortunately,
this solution is not backwardly compatible. The blkid_set_cachefile()
looks less invasive.
