I'm afraid that even if the cache sub-system was modified to support this,
you'd need the same knowledge to use it than the one used to create your
own version of FT_ImageCache, FT_SBitCache, FT_CMapCache.
What do you not understand in the cache sub-system ? Are you aware of the
following draft (that is part of the "ft2docs" package):
http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/cache.html
Hope this helps,
