caching does not scale and create thousands of tiny files in a single directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please type example code that produces the issue:
enable_caching('.cache')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
each individual object is serialized to disk in its own file. This cannot
scale as it end up creating tens of thousands of individual files on disk.

It would be more appropriate to use something like shelve to store it or
even sqllite

What version of pyLast is this?
0.3.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I've updated the version in the trunk (r192) to use a shelve.DbfilenameShelf 
object
for caching. try it out.
