It still leaves droppings in /tmp; there is some copy-paste code in plot.cpp it
seems, so that "patch" applied in several places.

On closer inspection it turned out to have more problems, including
win-specific fixes only applied to one of the similar functions, and more
importantly a security issue (execution of an insecure temp file). So here's
what I think is a proper fix, but please look it over before applying. Lightly
tested only.

The secure_tmp_filename function could maybe be moved to a general place, for
use by other code.

-j.
