Cache Control Extensible for Components

[krocheck]

As a developer I am starting to use the caching system more, realizing that I am querying often for stuff that does not change too often.

Because of this, I need to write into my component's ACP to rebuild these caches, but if there was a problem with a cache, I would expect some people to go to the cache control under Tools to rebuild them, however mine would not be shown or rebuilt with that utility.

I think it would be helpful if a 'components cache' was able to be listed in there as well (separate PHP file per cache that includes a rebuild script) that will be executed if the user decides to rebuild that specific cache or to rebuild all caches.

If this needs clarification, let me know.

Thanks,
Keith

This is much needed in my opinion; it would make developers lives a lot easier.
