Jack Henschel ecd7ee85e8 Mention Cache Directoy Tagging Standard in man page and help text
This patch makes it more explicit what is meant by the CACHEDIR.TAG file.
It not only has to have this particular name, but also a specific content
(described at http://bford.info/cachedir/spec.html), which is not immediately
obvious to the user.
