The temporary directory used by emerge by default is
"c:/DOCUME~1/webbs/LOCALS~1/Temp/", and it surely exists, albeit you
are probably used to its full name:
c:/Documents and Settings/webbs/Local Settings/Temp/
(The name emerge uses is the 8+3 alias of the full name.)
The problem is that emerge.el had a bug whereby it would escape the
"~" characters with a backslash, which produces an invalid file name
on Windows (because the Windows shell does not treat a backslash as a
quote character). The patch I sent solves this.
