=46rom what i can tell mktemp is more widely available than TMPDIR. My
gentoo boxes do not have TMPDIR set and i have used a ubuntu system
where it was not set either. mktemp is part of coreutils and even
busybox has one.
I did not feel too good reimplementing whatever else mktemp does, why
reinvent the wheel?
