IMHO cleaning up buffers that way, be it automatically or manually, is
either annoying (when doing it manually) or dangerous (when doing it
automatically - buffers may be killed that you want to keep).
Instead, try to live with many buffers. Configure Emacs so that
commands that display new buffers do it the way you want. Configure
`display-buffer-alist'. Use winner-mode. Configure
`winner-boring-buffers' so that winner doesn't restore buffers you don't
want back.
Second, try to find a better way to switch buffers than relying on the
history (there are many approaches helping here: ido, elscreen, using
multiple frames, using bookmarks or save positions in registers, also
Icicles or Helm have good interfaces for buffer switching).
Michael.
