Can we make the caches sharable by encoding variables like $Config{use64bitint} and $Storable::VERSION into $cache_path?

Something like this (untested):
	use Config;
	my $cache_path = "$ENV{GIT_DIR}/svn/.caches/";
	$cache_path .= "$Config{use64bitint}.$Storable::VERSION/";

We'll blow everybody's cache away once during the git-svn upgrade, but in the future people will be able to share the same working tree between different versions of perl/Storable/whatnot without needing extra code to detect croaks, different build options, and nuking each other's caches.
