/**
 * Alfresco-specific cache manager factory.
 * <p>
 * The purpose of this bean is to provide a common point from which the system-wide
 * EHCache <code>CacheManager</code> singleton is created.  Hibernate and Spring
 * will all pick up the same <code>CacheManager</code> instance.  It then becomes
 * possible to initialise this instance in whichever way we require, provided it
 * is done in a well-known (non-configurable) way.
 * <p>
 * For Alfresco purposes, there are two files that are looked for:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><b>classpath:alfresco/extension/ehcache-custom.xml</b>, which will take precedence</li>
 *   <li><b>classpath:alfresco/ehcache.xml</b>, which is the default shipped with Alfresco</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The EHCache static singleton instance is used but ensuring that all access to the
 * instance goes through the required initialization code first.
 * <p>
 * TODO: Provide mixing of config so that cache definitions in the custom file override
 *       those in the default file
 * 
 * @see #getInstance()
