This raises several questions:

First, there's a new get_cvs_tmp_dir() function in src/main.c that
should be used rather than querying the environment directly. 
Otherwise, tmpdirs set on the command line and in the config file won't
be noticed.

Likewise, the TMPDIR_ENV macro probably needs to be split into config.h
so that `TMPDIR' can be used on UNIX & `TEMP' on Windows.  Right now the
get_cvs_tmp_dir() function always uses `TMPDIR', I believe.  This also
needs doc in cvs.texinfo - I just removed the reference to TEMP the
other day since I noticed it was not being used while I was rewriting
the tmpdir stuff.  Just grep for TMPDIR and add TEMP with a note about
it being used on Windows.

Lastly, does Windows have the POSIX "mkstemp" function, perhaps called
_mkstemp()?  If not, does the lib/mkstemp.c (which depends on
lib/tempname.c) compile on Windows?  If either of these is the case,
then we could move the cvs_temp_file() function from src/filesubr.c into
src/subr.c and remove the windows-NT  variant completely.
