Script to vacuum the uploads directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The uploads directory will accumulate files forever, even if the file is not 
used any more.
One way to fix this is a vacuum script that would be run from CRON.

This would remove any files that are not in the files table, and report any 
files that exist but are not in the table.

Another way to prevent this situation, is to hook into the delete method of the 
file object and remove the file from the filesystem as well. This prevents the 
accumulation of orphan files. Will look into this.
