But hov about the cache_*.xml files? I think what he meant was that should layman really only has one directory? One for cache (downloaded/downloadable lists of overlays? in /var/cache/layman/?), one for the make.conf and overlay.xml (/etc/layman/?) and maybe one more directory for the overlays (/var/lib/layman/?). That make.conf/overlay.xml may not go as cache, nor do the overlays themselves, but as I said, should really it all be in the same directory?
