Re: cache_dir config

The syntax for cache_dir nowdays is

cache_dir type maxobjectsize path fs-options

I agree that the location of the maxobjectsize option is perhaps
unfortunate, and probably could be better done as a type-option. Not
many people will use this, except for filesystems where it is a
requirement.

Please note that "size L1 L2" is arguments specific to the ufs store.
Other stores have other options.
