[CF-Devel] unique-map recycling

I have an question about trying to clean up unique maps.
I added a function that will delete the relevant map files in unique items
when someone sells a lot (or when they quit...) and that works well, but
since these maps could be in memory, when they are swapped out the files are
recreated in unique-items (this is also a pain when testing maps with unique
floors, I find I have to stop the server, then delete the unique item maps).
Is there a way to axe the maps in memory or otherwise refresh the map so
that a new version is taken from the maps directory?  Also what if someone
else is on the map when it is sold (could check for this I guess, but would
be a pain for the player selling the lot.) or when a player quits (can't
stop them from quiting).

Geez, it all seemed so simple at the outset...
