was updating some of my scripts yesterday... noticed a lack of a
variable for TEMP or TMP or tmp or temp... I know I can use /tmp/ but in
windows I've gotten used to using %temp% being "just there" as an
envvar... what do you guys do? Assume /tmp/ is there? create a ~/tmp/
as needed?

(who likes %TEMP% in windows especially since they went to c:\documents
and settings\username\blah\blah\blah\temp....)
