Having another cfg_cache doesn't seem compatible with our future intended usages (see docs/image.txt in the gate) or it's naming. So, I personally would rather see us go with Option (c). If we go with Option (d) the file should not be called cfg_cache_inactive; it needs to be named something else since cfg_cache has a very specific meaning.
