There are many application that only have few files. Exerpts:
[DIR] ~/.ccache/:
CACHEDIR.TAG
stats
[DIR] ~/.dillo/:
adblock.txt
cookiesrc
cookies.txt
dpi_socket_dir
[DIR] ~/.gstreamer-0.10/:
registry.i486.xml
registry.x86_64.bin
[DIR] ~/.putty/:
sshhostkeys
[DIR] ~/.VirtualBox/:
compreg.dat
VirtualBox.xml
xpti.dat
[DIR] ~/.xfe/:
trash
xferc
...
The point is not, how many. It's more clean to have each application to
reserve its own directory
~/.<application 1>/
~/.<application 2>/
~/.<application 3>/

Any help managing that is welcomed. There are benefits in separate
dirs:
- backup by directory
- version control by directory
- ignore directories from searches; find(1) etc.
