returns "/tmp" on unix (always?) and GetTempPath on windows?

OS X sets a TMPDIR env variable as well...

Here's the logic npm uses, we can just copy it probably:

var temp = process.env.TMPDIR
         || process.env.TMP
         || process.env.TEMP
         || ( process.platform === "win32"
            ? "c:\\windows\\temp"
            : "/tmp" )

But yeah, calling GetTempDir on windows might be better. @piscisaureus @igorzi comment?

@piscisaureus

Well, here's the logic that windows uses:

The GetTempPath function checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and uses the first path found:

The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
The Windows directory.

Note that the function does not verify that the path exists, nor does it test to see if the current process has any kind of access rights to the path. The GetTempPath function returns the properly formatted string that specifies the fully qualified path based on the environment variable search order as previously specified. The application should verify the existence of the path and adequate access rights to the path prior to any use for file I/O operations.

Symbolic link behavior—If the path points to a symbolic link, the temp path name maintains any symbolic links.

@isaacs i think that will work for now and just wait for people to run into edge cases

2015-10-29, Version 5.0.0 (Stable)
837b174 
Notable changes:

* buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer,
  these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) nodejs#2859.
* console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of
  accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) nodejs#3166.
* fs:
  - fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file
    descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) nodejs#3163.
  - (Breaking) In fs.readFile(), if an encoding is specified and the internal
    toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback
    (Evan Lucas) nodejs#3485.
  - (Breaking) In fs.read() (using the fs.read(fd, length, position, encoding,
    callback) form), if the internal toString() fails the error is no longer
    thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) nodejs#3503.
* http:
  - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) nodejs#3342.
  - (Breaking) When parsing HTTP, don't add duplicates of the following headers:
    Retry-After, ETag, Last-Modified, Server, Age, Expires. This is in addition
    to the following headers which already block duplicates: Content-Type,
    Content-Length, User-Agent, Referer, Host, Authorization,
    Proxy-Authorization, If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, From, Location,
    Max-Forwards (James M Snell) nodejs#3090.
  - (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a
    function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) nodejs#3090.
  - (Breaking) HTTP methods and header names must now conform to the RFC 2616
    "token" rule, a list of allowed characters that excludes control characters
    and a number of separator characters. Specifically, methods and header names
    must now match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_!#$%&'*+.^`|~-]+$/ or a TypeError will be thrown
    (James M Snell) nodejs#2526.
* node:
  - (Breaking) Deprecated the _linklist module (Rich Trott) nodejs#3078.
  - (Breaking) Removed require.paths and require.registerExtension(), both had
    been previously set to throw Error when accessed
    (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) nodejs#2922.
* npm: Upgraded to version 3.3.6 from 2.14.7, see
  https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.6 for more details. This is a
  major version bump for npm and it has seen a significant amount of change.
  Please see the original npm v3.0.0 release notes for a list of major changes
  (Rebecca Turner) nodejs#3310.
* src: (Breaking) Bumped NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 47 from 46, this is necessary
  due to the V8 upgrade. Native add-ons will need to be recompiled
  (Rod Vagg) nodejs#3400.
* timers: Attempt to reuse the timer handle for setTimeout().unref(). This fixes
  a long-standing known issue where unrefed timers would perviously hold
  beforeExit open (Fedor Indutny) nodejs#3407.
* tls:
  - Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) nodejs#2564.
  - TLS options can now be passed in an object to createSecurePair()
    (Коренберг Марк) nodejs#2441.
  - (Breaking) The default minimum DH key size for tls.connect() is now 1024
    bits and a warning is shown when DH key size is less than 2048 bits. This a security consideration to prevent "logjam" attacks. A new minDHSize TLS
    option can be used to override the default. (Shigeki Ohtsu) nodejs#1831.
* util:
  - (Breaking) util.p() was deprecated for years, and has now been removed
    (Wyatt Preul) nodejs#3432.
  - (Breaking) util.inherits() can now work with ES6 classes. This is considered
    a breaking change because of potential subtle side-effects caused by a
    change from directly reassigning the prototype of the constructor using
    `ctor.prototype = Object.create(superCtor.prototype, { constructor: { ... } })`
    to using `Object.setPrototypeOf(ctor.prototype, superCtor.prototype)`
    (Michaël Zasso) nodejs#3455.
* v8: (Breaking) Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) nodejs#3351.
  - Implements the spread operator, see
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_operator
    for further information.
  - Implements new.target, see
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new.target
    for further information.
* zlib: Decompression now throws on truncated input (e.g. unexpected end of
  file) (Yuval Brik) nodejs#2595.

timers: fix not to close reused timer handle
632aee1 
The timer handle is reused when it is unrefed in order to avoid new
callback in beforeExit(nodejs#3407). If it is unrefed within a setInterval
callback, the reused timer handle is closed so that setInterval no
longer keep working. This fix does not close the handle in case of
setInterval.
