This might just work.

My initial test plan will be to chmod 700 /tmp (on the test system 
/var/tmp --> /tmp) and set TMP to /ntmp/username (for now) in 
/etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc.  If that doesn't cause too much gas, 
completely replacing /tmp would be the next step in my test plan.  If 
all this works satisfactorily, I'll submit a PR to completely replace 
/tmp with the new structure.  I don't think we want the new structure 
to live in /tmp as I think /tmp should be deleted and a new name be 
chosen for the new tmp.  Otherwise it would be too confusing.

This reminds me, replacing /var/mail with a similar mechanism should 
also be in the queue shortly.  I'll tackle this one first, however.
