Bug#449229: tex-common: texdoc finds html pages from catalogue first

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi Frank, hi all

the new luatex 0.20.0 ships os.tmpdir, but unfortunately a crippled
version which *ALWAYS* tries to create the tmpdir in .! I have made a
patch for luatex/os.tmpdir so that it takes a template and send it to
Taco.

For texdoclua I have applied the following patch:

Patch texdoclua becasue lfs.tmpname creates a file already so that
texdoclua breaks

So Frank you might add it to upstream ;-). And yes, tmpdir should
probably be checked for being nil or not?

Next upload of luatex will have both patches (save that Taco or you come
up with better patches than I did)

Best wishes
