 typical user will never need to tune that "-1" from default. Why force
 them to change config file for upgrade, and back if downgrade?
 Also, if we need maxfilesize, then probably in very near future we'd want
 minfilesize as well. Also, we might want to specify replacement policy
 per FS, diskload limits, ACL's, etc. we'd need to add such option
 anyway, then why brake existing one now?

 not sure what you mean, but don't we have a parser for options
 already (cache_peer [options] )?
