  This sounds like something that's probably been done for other
reasons.  In Gentoo linux, source tarballs and patches are downloaded to
/usr/portage/distfiles.  And they accumulate there.  I prefer not to
blow them all away immediately.  There are often 1-line patches later on
that assume the presence of the original umpteen megabyte tarball.  If
it's not there, it has to be downloaded again, and the 1-line patch
applied to it.  I think that the best approach would be to delete files
after 30 days or so.

  So is thare a generic "aging out" script anywhere?
