A left-over GoogleEarthLinux.bin must have been it, since I just
tries it with your URL and it build v4.1.

I *really* think it's counter-intuitive to automatically use a
pre-existing GoogleEarthLinux.bin, since make-googleearth-package
leaves the just-downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin in place.

Adding a --do-not-download or --cleanup would make it more "just do
it", IMO.

Attached is a patch to implement "--cleanup".
