Delete head.tmp and body.tmp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

dvips can generate temporary files head.tmp and body.tmp. I'm not sure but
I think they are created only if there are hyperlinks involved. Anyway,
both of them need to be removed together with the temporaries.

I'd be glad to include this, but I'd be even happier if I could reproduce it 
first :)  Do you 
have a minimal example that causes these files to be generated?

Ok, mmh, it looks like I have difficulties with reproducing it with the current
version of the Makefile since you removed the -z option from dvips since I last
updated this project. Yet, I still think these files should be removed since 
they are
produced if TeX users change the dvips options or run dvips by hand.

The code of test.tex is below.

$ make test.dvi
(...)
$ dvips -z test.dvi

I can see that it would be annoying to have them around, so I'm looking for an 
opinion, 
now.  How often would you guess this is going to bite someone?  Are there 
common use 
cases for changing the dvips parameters manually to cause these files to be 
generated?

These are temp file by nature (body.tmp and head.tmp). I think it cannot really 
hurt
anybody to remove them, they're temporaries dammit :)

Now I don't remember how and when these files got generated in my directory but 
I
swear that I didn't look for it to happen (typically I didn't run dvips -z), it 
was
produced as a byproduct of something else either in the Makefile (earlier 
versions)
or something like pdflatex.

Also, note that it is fairly common in other latex makefiles:

Marking bug verified.  I'll upload a new version once another blocking issue 
has been 
addressed.  Meanwhile, you can just use the revision referenced above :)
