I agree. I think your earlier suggestion of having a simple
tramp-temp-dir variable that overrides the local temp directory is
sufficient. It could be defined something like this:
(defvar tramp-temp-dir
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
(concat "/cygdrive/c"
(substring (w32-long-file-name temporary-file-directory) 2)))
"...docstring...")
So it will work out of the box for both UNIX and most Cygwin users, but
still be configurable (for when %SystemDrive% is D: and other odd
situations).
The call to w32-long-file-name is needed because Cygwin doesn't seem to
work with short filenames. And system-type is 'windows-nt even on 95,
98, ME, etc, so that's safe to test.
