This is not really a good idea on Windows, since File::Temp is
far less than ideal there.  I've patched it up in change#19667 to
do it using Win32 APIs instead.  I'd say File::Temp should use
the native method now. :)

I'd argue that we shouldn't use File::Temp for other platforms
either due to the bloat factor.  I doubt there are any platforms
that don't support open(f, O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR, 0600), which
is really the only thing that is needed to write a functional
mkstemp().
