we used to have texmfstart as script runner (all scripts are located and
started by a runner which is faster than using some kpse locator esp
when having nested runs as with metafun in mkii)
so, texexec used to be
texmfstart texexec
however, nowadays mtxrun is the runner and it replaces texmfstart for
mkii as well and in order to do this, it needs the file database and
that one ends up in the cache so even for mkii there is a cache needed
(when I'm in the mood I'll check the lua texutil variant in which case
we can also kick out ruby which is currently only needed for mkii)
