Which RHIDE version?

About my binaries: version 1.4.7.X

First thing that broke removing these temporary directories were that
construction __attribute__((destructor)) no more works (read "is broken")
with C++ in gcc-2.95.X and I used atexit() instead

Also the temporary directory to be removed at exit doesn't appear to be
empty then (even if it should be)

Finaly added cleaning contents of this directory and it's removal after
that (only if RHIDE suceeds to create this temporary directory).

But don't ask me when I'll make next update available. I don't know.
