Well that's dumb; who wrote that stuff anyway?   ... oh yeah.  ;-)

I think it's a good idea to be as platform agnostic as possible.   
This might be an answer:

     http://php.net/manual/en/function.sys-get-temp-dir.php

Andrew, can you try using that in your installation (should be able  
to put that in config.inc.php directly)?  If it works, I can rewrite  
the tests to use the function to determine the temp-dir location.
