Summary: testfile requires tmpdir unconditionally

Initial Comment:
The 'testfile' module requires the 'tmpdir' module, which in return requires the 'tmpdir' module which is applicable only to win32 systems.  When running in debug mode this generates an extraneous error:

Exception `LoadError' at /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tmpdir.rb:12 - no such file to load -- Win32API

Suggest modifying the 'testfile' module to require 'tmpdir' only on Windows:

*** tempfile.rb.fixed   Mon Apr  3 09:39:43 2006
--- tempfile.rb Tue May 10 21:46:31 2005

  require 'delegate'
! require 'tmpdir' if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin/i
  
  # A class for managing temporary files.  This library is written to be
  # thread safe.
