i.fusion.brovey: remove temp region file?

Description

Hi,

just looking through the i.fusion.brovey script I see that the cleanup() section resets the region to the temporary region file instead removing it. Which, AFAICT, is a noop and leaves a saved region file behind.

It in not important that the WIND_OVERRIDE variable is not unset there -- that goes away automatically as soon as the script exits.

?

Also, it is unclear to me if the "clone current region" step is really needed before setting WIND_OVERRIDE and using the new region file. I notice i.in.spotvgt doesn't bother to do that.

ie can WIND_OVERRIDE legally point to a region wind file which does not yet exist?

AFAIR WIND_OVERRIDE didn't exist when I was writing i.fusion.brovey. Feel free to make appropriate fixes.

Replying to hamish:

It depends upon the situation, but in most cases, no. Anything which tries to read the window (which lots of functions do implicitly) will fail if WIND_OVERRIDE references a non-existent region.

In particular, g.region calls G_get_window() unless -d is given (any command line settings override specific components of the current region), which will fail if WIND_OVERRIDE is set but the region doesn't exit.
