The jove editor package I'm creating a .info file for needs a /tmp
like directory to dump files into.  It wants a subdirectory named
something like /sw/var/tmp/jove/preserve to find recover files,
so that when jove gets killed the jove recover program can recover
the editted files.  This is similar to vi's .swp files, except they
all live in one world writable directory.

Should the jove.info file use the OS's /tmp or /var/tmp, or should it
use use tmp directories in /sw?  If the later, then it would be good
idea to have base-files create these.  If so, should it create %p/tmp,
or %p/var/tmp or both?

If base-files creates these directories as world writable, then it
would be best for my jove package to wait for base-files to be
updated so it can depend on a particular revision of that package.

Best,
Blair
