Summary: diskcache files could be deleted when bot finishes

Initial Comment:
Currently, using diskcache, cache files are created in the folder "cache". But they do not get deleted on proper exits. If you run the bot once more, a new cache file (for each wiki) is created:

1st run: msg-wikipedia-eo-wpovcxkn
2nd run: msg-wikipedia-eo-oqxakgvsy
etc.

When the bot finishes, all current *cache* files (c|sh)ould be deleted.

I consider this a bug report, not a feature request because that it's
expected behaviour.

diskcache.py:

    def __del__(self):
        self.cache_file.close()
        import os
        os.unlink(self.cache_path)
        os = None

os.unlink() delete the file (http://docs.python.org/lib/os-file-dir.html).
