Helper program for creating global cache files

This tool creates a cache file for a given locale and compose file.
Unfortunately, due to the way XIM is integrated into libX11, a Xserver
has to be running in order to create a cache. If somebody sees a clearer
way to deal with this you're very welcome to change it.

For distributors I also add an example script below that shows how global cache

files for the three UTF8 compose tables can created using Xvfb. This is only a
skeleton, though.

Currently paths are hardcoded. Also note that compose tables for non-UTF8
locales currently shouldn't be cached globaly, as the encoding may differ
with different locales. This is something to be addressed.
