Hi Rob,

Since mkdtemp already returns a string of the new directory name,
it might be more scheme-like to not modify the input string, and instead
just return the new directory name.

Also, I don't know how universal mkdtemp is. It does exist in Linux and
OpenBSD, but, I'm not sure about all platforms. So a configure check
might not be amiss.

I'll send a reworked patch for you to consider.

Regards,
Mike Gran
