Subject: Any nice way to get a temporary directory?

I'd like to be able to obtain a temporary directory in the same way I  
can easily obtain a temporary file, but there doesn't seem to be a  
function for this. Currently, I'm creating a temp file, getting it's  
name, unlinking it, and then creating a dir with the same name. But  
this is ugly, and in theory subject to a race condition. Is there a  
better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Ken
