 As raised on jabber...

 I just noticed "cache" is too generic when I saw src/lib/cache (it also
 applies to the resulting library, libcache.{a,so}).  Consider,
 e.g. the fact we already have the "hot spot cache" for data source.
 Also consider BIND 10 may not even specific to DNS.  Even without
 taking these into account, "cache" still sounds too generic and can
 be quite ambiguous.

 So, IMO, it should have a more specific name.

 This is probably part of a larger packaging matter, though (e.g.,
 whether we want to provide the cache library as a stand alone library
 that can be exclusively used by third party applications, or whether
 it's intended to be used only as part of the resolver
 (library/server)).

 But I'm creating the ticket anyway so that we won't forget it.
