I always thought that "/usr/tmp" was a non-standard directory, and you're
really supposed to be using "/var/tmp". Is that a correct assumption? I
haven't really checked the appropriate standards (don't have them available,
unfortunately).
File system standards are very tenuous beasts.... there isn't any
official standard, per se, although it's certainly true that /var/tmp
generally is much more popular than /usr/tmp. In the long run we'll
probably need to do a configure test.....
