Replying to [comment:10 martinl]:
> These files should be stored in `.tmp` directory localed in current
GRASS mapset I would say.
The the mapset's .tmp directory is meant for files which will be moved to
elsewhere within the mapset directory once they have been written (e.g.
the cell/fcell files). Files cannot be rename()d across filesystem
(partition) boundaries, so the temporary file must be on the same
filesystem as the intended destination. The mapset's .tmp directory can be
assumed to be on the same filesystem as the rest of the mapset.
Files which don't have this requirement should either use the OS'
temporary directory, or a configurable directory. Access to the temporary
directory may be significantly faster than to the mapset directory,
particularly if the mapset is on a network filesystem.
