I know about --cache option but I guess I have miss understood it. I
understood that that option only defines where cache files are
temporary kept and that they are also deleted from that location after
iso file is build. I thought what I need is a new option --keep-cache
what would complement --cache option.

I also found a bug in --help option, can you spot it?
