OK i basically give in on the temporary file issue.

i still think it's idealistic to expect applications to clean up 
their old temporary files *on startup*, but i'll admit that, as 
usual, developer discipline is the best solution to the temporary 
file, if not *any*, issue!

on the subject of File.createTempFile(), i still think that the 
android implementation should pass back something suitable in the 
event that /sdcard isn't connected to anything. that's the contract 
with java.io.File, and it shouldn't be broken.

so there ;-)
