Re: APR_TMP_DIRECTORY

[Wilfredo S�nchez]

  I'm not suggesting that we limit ourselves to the unix 
implementation.  I'm saying there exists an API that solves this 
problem and that rather than plunging headlong into a new API that 
looks good, we try to learn something some an API that's been around 
the block.

  Specifically, I think the API should return a filehandle, not a file 
name, to avoid the race condition I mentioned.  I think that's 
worthwhile.

  Yes, I buried that in a bunch of details, though I think those are 
relevant to whether the API would work well.
