I'd take a patch to add an optional switch to the disk cache to cause it
to do this.

Note that GDAL trunk (what will be 1.5) can talk to a WMS-C server in
the backend, and serve WMS requests from it:
http://gdal.org/frmt_wms.html has details . If you have the ability to
run the server, you can then stick GDAL/MapServer in front of it to act
as the MapServer, rather than serving from many files, which will
probably make your life easier.
