OK, probably my misunderstanding, I thought that the only concern was 
using the plugin to avoid any temporary file wastage of time or space. 
I can revisit this in relation to using r.out.gdal for GRASS >= 6.3 
instead of r.out.bin - in which case I can make r.out.gdal use 32 
bits for integers and 64 bits for float/doubles.
