-nmh temporary files
--------------------
-
-To create a temporary file, use m_mktemp2() or m_mktemp().  They use
-mkstemp(3), but they also register the temporary file for removal on
-program termination.  So, do not use mkstemp() directly.
-
-To further support this, nmh_init() must be called at the beginning of
-main().  And, if a child process is not going to immediately call one
-of the exec(3) functions or _exit(3) after a fork(3), it should call
-unregister_for_removal(0).  Finally, nmh_init() sets up signal handlers
-for several signals:  these signal handlers should not be disabled.
