Reasons to want this ‘configurable’ is to match the rest of the system, as this is one of the few remaining binaries that writes into ~/.cache
john@joran ~ ❯ tree .cache
.cache
├── motd.legal-displayed
└── upstart

As everything else already behaves:
john@joran ~ ❯ set | grep XDG_.*_HOME
XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/john/settings/cache
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/john/settings/config
XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/john/settings/data
XDG_STATE_HOME=/home/john/settings/state

Current solution is having this module not run instead.
