Two problems:

- if it turns out later that something went wrong, the file is lost. Not
  a big issue, since /var/lib/texmf/web2c/*.log is still there.

- What should we do with the "Output of ... is in $TEMPFILE" message? We
  would have to define a trap and redefine it before the second call. (or
  use the same tempfile. That's probably better.)
