Replying to [comment:47 jdemeyer]:
> Concerning the Sage library patch: why did you change
`doc/common/builder.py`?
The new `tmp_filename` and `tmp_dir` create a file/directory (the only
safe way to deal with temporaries), but the doctest wanted a non-existing
directory name. Needless to say, a function that returns a not-yet-
existing filename is just a race condition in the making.
