Hrm - I kind of look at solo as being pretty heavy on the 'roll your
own' end of things, in terms of exactly what you want the behavior to
be.  It would be consistent with the way the chef-client works to go
ahead and wipe the cache first, but I can see a world where you *want*
to keep cookbooks around (for example, you want to actually pull from
multiple sources, and clean up after.)

I think we would be happy to accept a patch that lets this be a
configuration/command line option.
