Subject: "Bad DC! Bad DC!" -- How Can You Get DC To Clean Up After Itself?

John,

I use parameterized templates extensively in my Verilog designs.  When
Synopsys reads in these templates, it creates a few temporary files with
names like "*.mra", and "*verilog.syn".  Problem is, messy Synopsys doesn't
clean up these files upon exit.  My directories are really starting to get
cluttered!

Do any of your readers have any tricks to get Synopsys to not create these
files, or redirect them to a junk directory?  Something like a cache_read,
or cache_write dc_shell variable would be OK.  But, I can't seem to find
any variables like this in the online docs.
