Libmenu-cache is a library creating and utilizing caches to speed up the manipulation for freedesktop.org defined application menus. it can be used as a replacement of libgnome-menu of gnome-menus.

* shorten time for loading menu entries.
* ease of use. (api is very similar to that of libgnome-menu)
* lightweight runtime library. (parsing of the menu definition files
are done by menu-cache-gen when the menus are really changed.)
* less unnecessary and complicated file monitoring.
* heavily reduced disk i/o.
