Perhaps this is a bit out of line, but if you're going to do * in /tmp or
involving temporary files, please use mkstemp
(http://support.cygnus.com/cygwin/4_libs/a_GNUPro_C_Library/libcmktemp_mkstempgenerate_unused_fi.html),
as it's fairly secure and avoids things like predictable names (symlink
problems), and such.  Thanks :)
