Subject: configuring wine under mingw

When running configure on wine under mingw, I had problems creating
secure temporary directories...
The configure code has two options for creating a secure temporary
directory.
If the first method fails the second is used.
The difficulty with the first one is that mktemp returns a Windows-style
path
("C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\cscP2080") instead of a Unix-style
one (/tmp/cscP2080)
Since the backslashes are not escaped this then causes problems later
when the temporary path is passed to sed
as it cannot find C:DOCUME~1ADMINI~1LOCALS~1TempcscP2080/subs.sed
This is actually because mingw/msys converts the unix-style path passed
in to mktemp to a Windows-style one
in the first place.
Actually mingw does not have mktemp and the reason it was finding mktemp
is that the cygwin directory
was in my path. Removing the cygwin path fixes this problem, but then I
don't have access to bison and yacc,
so configure fails
As an alternate solution, If I disallow the first of the two options on
cygwin, then the tmp variable is set to
/tmp/cs* and so it proceeds fine

I thought the logical thing to check was $host_os to see if we were
running mingw.
But when I tried it didn't seem to work :-)
Not sure if this configure is autogenerated or if this patch is
applicable, but
thought others trying the same thing might find this helpful...
