 Hopefully fixed for devbr in r46041.

 Vect_delete() uses unlink(), whereas raster and all other files are
 removed by remove(): the file will remain in existence until the last file
 descriptor referring to it is closed (at least on Linux). In
 Vect_delete(), I have replaced unlink() with remove(), working on Linux,
 awaits testing on Windows.
