It seems that any cache would want a cache_delete method. I've written a server
that exposes svn via Ice and it would be handy to have a cache.

What about adding some fields in the structures to make an LRU cache possible
such as adding to the cache_entry the last time it was looked up. I guess one
could also wrap the value in another value that has those fields, so leaving
this alone would be good.

But I think you'll always want a way of removing entries.
