You know, one thing that would be handy for clean up would be a flat, 
straight, square plastic scraper.  Anyone know of such a thing?

Yes, REI sells them. But before you spend money, I have made one out of a yogurt lid making sure that the cut edge was very straight. I have also used plastic teaser "credit cards, your name here" that come in the mail. If you are an avid multi-use gear hiker use your insurance or credit cards. Lick clean.

This has already been well-answered but I'll throw in my vote for pouring in
a little water, scrubbing the inside of the pot with my finger, then
drinking the water.  Heating the pot again at the next meal will take care
of any leftover baddies.  I used to think that drinking the wash water would
be way too gross but if you end the day at a dry camp and are using water
than you had to lug for miles, it's pretty easy to get over it and just do
it.  No way am I going to throw that water
