I would vote for that feature too. With LaTeX you only get approximately two or three additional files which is still acceptable, but esp. when using modules such as R and (yet unfinished) gnuplot, the whole folder becomes pretty messy and you never know what to delete and what not. It's almost impossible to extend ctxtools to delete all the necessary files since even PDF files might serve as "temporary" files in "static" MP figures or as intermediate results of gnuplot runs, ...
