string and variable concat in -f checks

[Boris Bartsyts]

thanks Igor, i've ended up with this:

        rewrite ^(.*)/$  $1/index.html;

        if (-f $document_root/cache$uri) {
            root   /var/www/myspace/cache;
            break;
        }

        rewrite ^(.*)/index.html$  $1/index.php;

	... further rewrite rules here ...


i couldn't get rid of additional rewrites for index.html
"index index.html index.php" doesn't help because i have index.php only
in /root and index.html only in /root/cache folder.
