well, the biggest caches i see here are from apps using the
webapp-container ... the browser itself also has ~200M cache in
there ... i think the browser and webapp-container both should have some
auto expiration mechanism that deletes data if it is ... say ... older
than 4 weeks ...

i agree for other apps that the developer should take care for this
though (but perhaps our framework should offer some snippet you can use
that cleans old files automatically or some such) ...

oh, and there is a 65M big zeitgeist dir too that i would expect to
clean up itself after some time ...
