[sldev] Reformatting Textures for the cache

[Morse Dillon]

For the naysayers, this is how production e-mail servers like Postfix 
handle their data.  If one thinks about it, a filesystem is practically 
the very definition of the kind of lookup db needed for this cache 
system.  It would be even better if we had access to a filesystem like 
ReiserFS on Windows and OS X that excels in handling piles of small files.
