Seems like there might be a need for a "Temp" directory that plug-ins
can write regenerateable temp files to.  This Temp directory can be
cleaned up periodically by an automated or admin triggered event.

I am writing a plug-in (gant charts) that is going to be generating a
lot of images.  My current solution is a cron job that empties the
subdirectory of the Media directory nightly.
