Yes, I think so ...

Just be generic.  Perhaps the FileCacheLoader could take an optional  
property containing a list of OS-specific illegal characters for the  
deployed platform, but then again if someone can specify this, they'd  
know not to use these characters in the cache anyway.

I'd just stick with the generic illegal chars.
