Since the files are typically temporary, I think mktemp is the thing to do. I could use it on the build directory, but I don't think that would be correct: these are just temporary files, not parts of the build. The temporary files gcc uses are also not put in the build dir, for example. However, the output files from blender are now put in /tmp, where files by the same name may be overwritten (it's the default name of blender output). This isn't good of course, but unfortunately I think it's not possible to put them in a dynamic place. I could put them in /tmp/gfpoken instead of /tmp, in order to lower the chance of overwriting files. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
