Artifact Cleanup Publisher

The artifact CleanUp publisher allows for automatic removal of the buildlogs according to the choosen setting. It relies on the build log folder, so the XML publisher must be specified before this publisher can run. For technical reasons this publisher MUST reside in the publisher section, it will not work in the tasks section. Be sure to specify the Xml Log Publisher before this one.
