You are preaching to the choir... :-)

I'm still looking for some wisdom regarding the actual testsuite setup
in orgmode, though.  We have org-test-with-temp-text-in-file in
org-test.el, which supposedly cleans up after itself.  Other tests
aren't as careful, specifically files with the following prefixes: awk-,
C-bin-, C-src-, emacs, fortran-bin-, fortan-src-, maxima-, octave-,
org-test (seems to be an HTML export from a temporary org file that does
get removed), python-, scor and sh-.

Barring any setup or options I might have missed, it looks like I will
have to do two things: first, set TMPDIR to a newly created directory
during the test runs and second, remove that directory after the test
(with an option to keep it for inspection and removing only with
"clean").


Regards,
Achim.
