This patch prefixes temporary directories created by gnulib-tool.py
with "glpy". gnulib-tool.sh uses the 'gl' prefix in func_tmpdir, and I
suppose it is beneficial to differentiate the two.
I probably should have done this ~2 months ago when gnulib-tool.py
crashed frequently. After testing my /tmp would be full of directories
named with the template "tmp", which I assume gets used by
other programs too. Thankfully that is less of an issue now since
gnulib-tool.py crashes less...
