I'd consider the necessity to create .cache file manually as a bug.

I.e. from the document it's clear that for the majority of target OSes
good defaults are the same, and for others they are though different, but
know.

So, 'configure' should create such a file automatically, and only if
automatically created file is wrong, user should specify .cache file on
'configure' command line.
