Yeah - seems like a good idea.

If the directories sometimes don't get deleted, then you might help out
the admin by giving the directories easy to spot names so they can
manually clean up...  i.e. use mktemp -d /tmp/ltpselinuxXXXX or maybe
even better mkdir -p /tmp/ltpselinux; mktemp -d -p /tmp/ltpselinux
