Are you sure you mean .1 farad? Generally a digital bypass cap would be
somewhere around .1 micro farad. I don't keep up on passive technology, but
a 5 volt electrolytic .1 farad cap would need to be about the size of a
paint can. Actually, I'm not sure if it could be built. In not up on the
latest materials and manufacturing tolerances.

Just use one of those 5.5V memory capacitors -- like the one in the Palm.
At
1 Farad they are still fairly small. The one in the Palm is .1 Farad.
