 * I want to delete the feed every minute, using cron.
 * I’ve enabled super cache – but I’m not able to find the feed in the supercache-
   directory. How can I, using PHP, delete the feed from the cache manually?

 * You’ll have to run through all the wp-cache* files in the cache directory. They’re
   serialized arrays and once you examine them it should be easy enough to pick 
   out the feed one.

 * If I write a plugin that can do this. Can I use a function in wp super cache 
   to do this? This way I don’t need to reinvent the weel, and it will also work
   if you make changes in your plugin in the future.

 * I also wonder: If a user enables supercache, why not use the supercache-directory
   for feeds?

 * I’ve actually solved the feed-issue now. But I still wonder why feeds are stored
   differently than normal posts/pages. I hope you have the time to answer 🙂

 * The main reason is because feeds have different HTTP headers. It’s much easier
   to do this in PHP and not worth supercaching them.
