Antoine, -P is fine with me!

Also, since my idea is that --usetmp/-P would just use the mkdtemp() algorithm 
(which looks for $TMPDIR, $TEMP or $TMP), getting the build into a 
subdirectory, e.g. /tmp/test_python would be as easy as setting 
TMP=/tmp/test_python.  So I'm inclined to keep it real simple.  I will add an 
atexit handler though to clean up under normal situations.  Your right that if 
Python crashes you'll be left with file cruft, but if you're using --usetmp/-P 
you should know enough to look for that.
