If your dalvik-cache is "out of control" and "growing on its own" YOU my friend are doing something wrong.
Dalvik-cache only gets larger when you install apps.
Ill say it again incase you missed it

Now.
Are you absolutely sure your not a moron? Are you sure that its not your cache partition getting full due to downloading a bunch of OTA content with my script and not clearing?
Are you sure that you are not manually removing applications so the dalvik-cache's dex's stay?
Are you sure that you dont have some unique android virus creating things in your dalvik-cache?
Would you like to pay me to write you a useless script that will monitor your dalvik-cache and clear out "outdated" dex files?
IF this was necessary I would have written a solution. And by that logic I > Google's Developers. So do you really think that if I could make an init script to manage dalvik they would not have?
