Summary: WIX builds leave detritus in TEMP

Initial Comment:
After running a WIX project compilation (using Visual Studio 2005, and WIX 
daily-build 3.0.3530.0), I find junk in the temp directory which accumulates 
day after day (amounting to gigabytes per day of lost disk space).

Among the files left behind are:
 WSCB90.tmp (zero sized files - so not a huge deal)

and a folder named - for example:
j85u1pd4\
  MsiFileHash.idt
  ...
  Verb.idt
  ...
  cab_0_WixUIExtension.cab
...

These folders are pretty big (about the size of the installer itself) - and are 
never deleted; they just accumulate.

That's controlled by the LeaveTemporaryFiles (aka -notidy) switch.
