Wow! Strictly speaking I guess that's an NTemacs24 bug, but we do have
the option of over-riding the default Emacs tmp location, which may
incur some extra house-keeping by the test-runners. I will leave that
decision to a maintainer.
I guess the makefile could issue a message on windows if an env var is
not set?
Best, Martyn
