Libmenu-cache is a library creating and utilizing caches to speed up the access to 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.
