It would be nice to have a configure option to disable/enable including the
POSIX function tmpnam.
It may give Guile a more "code secure" option to have the default be disabled.
I tried to generate a patch, but I could not get it to work both ways (disable
and enable). My autoconf
knowledge and skills are lacking.
Here is what I tried (THIS DOES NOT WORK)
