Why bother? You've already spent Venti space on them.
On the main Plan 9 file server, we try to be careful about
running mk clean when we're done in a directory, so that
we don't need a cron job coming in and cleaning up after us.
We rotate the log files every January 1, so we have
/sys/log/mail.2003, etc. It's actually useful to have the old
logs around, and it's not like deleting them would free up
space.
