Cleanup temporary files and caches on Linux Mint 15

# This script will happily wipe all root/user temporary files, old kernels,
# browser caches and cpan/cpanm build directories. Review before running
# blindly.
#
# Though, so far, there are no Linux Mint 15 Olivia specific cleanups here,
# this script ensures, that we're really running under this distribution. Feel
# free to disable this check.
