there's "clean" option that removes the files after finishing. I think,
if user wants abcde not to clean, it should neither clean temporary
directory, nor files in it.

What am I doing is repeated compression (of course, i need to play with
status file) which is best done in abcde's temporary directory. 

Of course, option that allows copying of .wav files top other directory,
isn't bad idea.
