OK, I've checked in a change to use that in "get_tempfile_path()".

The rules it uses are:

	if TMPDIR is set, use that;

	otherwise, if TMP is set, use that;

	otherwise, if TEMP is set, use that;

	otherwise, if P_tmpdir is #defined, use that;

	otherwise, if this is UNIX, use "/tmp", and if this is Windows, use 
"C:\".

They don't try "C:\TEMP", probably because Windows lacks UNIX's 
relative consistency about temporary file directories, and the 
directory to use apparently depends on which version of which flavor of 
Windows you're using.
