Yes, $aliastmp is created even if no hyphenation alias needs to be
handled, but it's only deleted after and if the alias handling has been
done. The fix is easy.
It's a little harder with the fmtutil call: Currently, we grep through
the tempfile for the "I'm stymied" message, and run ftmutil again if we
encounter it. So the code needs 5 minutes more of thinking (which I
didn't have yet).
