gips_tiles never works if you specify a shapefile

54 is back, but only the tiles half. The output from gips_tiles modis seems to be the creation of an empty directory; test for this is t_tiles in gips/test/sys/t_modis.py:

$ gips_tiles modis -s nhseacoast/NHseacoast.shp -d 2012-12-01,2012-12-03 -v 4 --outdir testout --notld -p indices
. . .
2012-12-02 tile h12v04: 1 files warped
2012-12-03 tile h12v04: 1 files warped

It looks like I should find testout/h12v04/h12v04_2012337_MCD_indices.tif in my outdir, but it's not there:

$ tree testout/
testout/
└── h12v04

1 directory, 0 files

This is definitely broken; it creates the command-line to gdalwarp then never executes it. It shows how much people care about gips_tiles, as it's been broken for 2.5 years, I think; see 2b571c2a.

It was an old customer requirement. May be again some day...but certainly not top of the backlog.
