While we consider Stas' ideas for a portable tmpdir, we should also consider

If you need the implementation details look at how Perl does it. it's in
File::Spec which is a set of function working on Files/Dirs crossplatform.
Thanks. Those too would be good. I was first considering simply splitting
apart paths from a list. While a variable such as TEMP or TMP can simply be
passed to apr_filepath_merge(), you can't do that with path lists like PATH,
LIB or INCLUDE.
