in the vast majority of the cases, you'll want to have mapcache use
metatiles, be serving PNGs from your WMS server
(<format>image/png</format> in your mapcache <source>), and storing
your tiles as JPG (<format>JPG</format> in your <tileset>). If you
need to preserve transparency on your orthophoto edges, you can choose
to store the tiles as a"mixed" format instead of pure JPG.
