> Ok, if $GISRC is custom you'd get tmp files in weird places. (render.py
could test if the getenv string started with "/tmp/grassX-" before using
that, otherwise use $TMPDIR?)
The init script uses TMPDIR or TEMP or tempfile.gettempdir(), and only
falls back to /tmp as the last resort.

If /tmp (or $TMPDIR) is on a different filesystem to the mapset, it's
likely to be faster, e.g. /tmp is likely to be on a local disc even if the
mapset is on an NFS or CIFS share.
