Description

mythburn.py could do a better job of deleting intermediate/temporary files as soon as they are not necessary in order to not run out of disk space unnecessarily when space is low. I've attached a patch that cleans up what I've found and adds an option (triggered by editing the script only) to keep temporary files around if needed for debugging. I don't know if you'll want to apply this or not, but I've found it useful so I thought I'd put it out there.

You can probably expect some fuzz since my mythburn.py is not quite up to date with svn head, but I think it should still apply. I don't know if or how this applies to the new ProjectX exporting code since my version is older than that.
