I don't really see the use of this. Why would this be useful?

How about making the result from get_temporary_directory() available in
user land, most likely as a constant named TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY  This
would be useful in that we'd know where this is, in both Windows and
*nix.  The code that defines the internal variable temporary_directory
is here:

http://lxr.php.net/source/php4/main/php_open_temporary_file.c#164

I'm not a devel guy, but the following hack seems mildly appropriate:

REGISTER_STRING_CONSTANT("TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY",
get_temporary_directory(), strlen(get_temporary_directory()), 0);

Not sure where to put it though, or if it's fully correct (doubtful),
but please consider this idea as it would be nice.

One *possible* concern is security but I think it's worth it, *maybe*
disable this option in safe_mode.  It's not like the TEMP directory is
a big secret, nor is viewing various related directives like
session.save_path and upload_tmp_dir.
