AGE="+7" # days

find /path/to/scons-cache ! -type  -mtime +$AGE -delete

and stuff a script that does that into a crontab someplace (or into /etc/cron.daily).  This will blow away everything older than 7 days.  It's not as intelligent as some other schemes I've seen, but it's computationally cheap and very easy to tune.

	It'd be great if scons had some kind of LRU pruning, but that's much lower on the importance list than build-time performance.
