patch for port misc/mime-support to improve tempfile name generation

When run-mailcap is called with a filename containing shell metacharacters,=
 it
attempts to symlink a temporary filename to the original file before callin=
g a
mime-type-specific program to process the file.

The subroutine TempFile, which is supposed to return the temporary filename,
calls the linux-specific program "tempfile". On FreeBSD this call fails
silently, causing TempFile to return an empty string, causing the calling l=
oop
to iterate endlessly.

The attached patch implements two changes:

1. Instead of calling the executable "tempfile", use perl's File::Temp which
should work on all platforms

2. If the calling loop reaches fifty iterations, die
