The cache uses the combined global + project lib tables right now and 
stores in the project directory.  I am proposing making the cache only 
for the global lib table and store it next to the global library table 
and not cache the project library files at all.

Alternatively, we could merge the cache and the table files.  Global 
library table file gets the global cache, project library table file 
gets the project-specific cache.

Thoughts?
