Well, it seems that using ccache requires explicit user intervention so the side-effects are not unexpected. Further, the home directory can not always be assumed to be writable (see my original motivation for this patch). 

Anyway, let's briefly step backwards and look at this from a more global angle: Would you like to have your home directory cluttered with random build-related files written by the 500+ packages you compile if you are on gentoo or LFS? I would not like this...

Regardless of what you think about this issue, I think that the proposed patch is not very intrusive. It does not make a difference besides not writing ~/.dune.resume (and not failing if it cannot be written to) if you do not intend to use --resume; On the other hand if you want it, IMHO it is not asked to much to explicitly specify RESUME_FILE.
