forget about (B). as we're dealing with privacy a 100% approach
is much better than some heuristic.
i'll keep an extra copy of layman-global.txt in sync and
use modification timestamps on any file in layman's cache dir
as trigger to re-sync with layman-global.txt from the web.
that's an optimized version of (A) to me.
