Hi!

I saw Joeroens posting on the mktemp() issue in printjob.c. During
buildworlds I have seen warnings about mktemp() being used if not
frequently, at least on quite a few places. This got me thinking -
Generally, are all mktemp() calls bad? Which are the one that *really*
should be eliminated? Can they all be emliminated?

I did some grepping on the Stable tree as of 2000-10-24 and found a few
places where mktemp was used, though mostly in contributed stuff, like
GNU binutils.

(Side note: Should those be fixed for FreeBSD or feedbacked to the
respective team at FSF?)
