      A user tried to install qmake2cmake system-wide on Linux - by packaging it for Arch.
      At runtime, qmake2cmake fails with the following error:

      > Exception ignored in atexit callback: <function simplify_condition_memoize.<locals>.update_cache_file at 0x7f70da62b880>
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/qmake2cmake/condition_simplifier_cache.py", line 112, in update_cache_file
>     os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(cache_path), exist_ok=True)
>   File "/usr/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 225, in makedirs
>     mkdir(name, mode)
> PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/qmake2cmake/.pro2cmake_cache'

      It looks like qmake2cmake tries to create its cache directory relative to the script's location, which is not writable.

      The cache directory should be created somewhere user-writable.
