This is a very important point, because I somtimes deleted the cache
directory during development. This should not disturb a running
DokuWiki in any way except to slow it a bit down due to rebuilding the
cache. So I suggest following extension:

data/
|-- changes.log
|-- attic/
|-- media/
|-- data/
|-- var/
|   |-- mlists/
    |-- _htcookiesalt  ???
|   `-- locks/
`-- cache/
    |-- xhtml/
    |-- instructions/
    |-- media/
    |-- purgefile
    `-- _htcookiesalt  ???

I'm not sure about _htcookiesalt. May I delete this directory and the
users wouldn't recognize it or will this break all existing connections?

 Best Regards
