 gdaltools fial to create a virtual catalog if there are mmany rasters.
 Infact gdaltool call the "gdalbuildvrt" passing each for each every
 raster.
 This method seem to fill the command line buffer because on windows it
 return a strange error.
 Instead gdalbuildvrt.ee allow to use a file to give a list of all the
 raster to be catalogue.

 the option is
 -input_file_list

 So I think a better strategy is to write the raster list on a temporary
 file using the -input_file_list option to pass to the gdalbuildvrt program
 and remove it after the end of operation.
