gtimer status update



Just wanted to give people a heads-up.  I'm trying to roll in the
patch that was made to correct the temp file security problem.  The
original patch did not apply cleanly to the new upstream source, so
I'll need to squirrel away some time to do some coding and debugging
-- perhaps sometime tonight.  I'm hoping by monday to have new
packages up at my website for critique.  I'll let you know when that
happens.

Incidentally, using the function tmpnam(3) raises a warning
with gcc, as it is not thread safe when envoking as 

    s = tmpnam(null);

Instead, I'll try to use tmpfile(3) exclusively, avoiding the
problematic mktemp(3), mkstemp(3), and tmpnam(3), and tempnam(3).
