Oh. The thing is that it's easy to check if encodings/large/fonts.cache-1 is 
empty and remove it in that case. On the other hand encodings/fonts.cache-1 
contains the line pointing to "large" subdir so I was thinking of first 
removing encodings/large/fonts.cache-1 if it is empty, then encodings/large 
directory, then running fc-cache on encodings and remove 
encodings/fonts.cache-1 if it's empty. If fc-config is not present some 
parsing will be necessary...
Is there a way fc-cache could ignore encodings subdirectory?

Perhaps generating and removing cache files should be made responsibility of 
fonts ports? IIRC quite some of them handle it already. That could also avoid 
running fc-cache with default settings thus avoiding fonts.cache-1 files 
under encodings.
