The whole working directory handling might need an think. I'd like to
have a directory per job - probably with the x/y in the name and a pid
or something. All files generated should stay in there - probably even
the verbose logfile for this specific tile. You only ever delete the
files if the job rendered successfully or the user decides it should not
keep temp files on fail.

It would be good to have all informations temp files svgs etc in case
something failes. Think of the gcc --save-temps.

Might also solve the multiple instances in same directory ...
