Parameters:
netradiation=name [required]
Name of Net Radiation raster map [W/m2]
soilheatflux=name [required]
Name of soil heat flux raster map [W/m2]
sensibleheatflux=name [required]
Name of sensible heat flux raster map [W/m2]
evaporativefraction=name [required]

DESCRIPTION
i.eb.evapfr calculates the evaporative fraction after Bastiaanssen
1995. The main implementation follows Alexandridis et al. (2009). The
module takes as input the net radiation (see r.sun, i.eb.netrad), soil
heat flux (see i.eb.soilheatflux) and sensible heat flux (see i.eb.hse-
bal01). A flag adds a root zone empirical soil moisture output from the
article of Bastiaanssen, et al. (2000).
