ProfileStage Log File Cleanup

One annoying thing about ProfileStage is the fact that it doesn't cleanup after itself. For every action you perform (analyzing, importing metadata, etc), it generates several flat files to keep track of that job (*.log, *.ini, *.err, *cleanup.log, etc). Not to mention that the Analysis Server and Message Switch both continue appending to their own log files. All the while you're consuming disk space like crazy and will eventually use up all space in those directories. It would be really nice if the tool would take care of older files automatically (and that the purge process was configurable so you could decide to keep the last x number of days/weeks/months of log files).
