Re: environment variables derived from TMPDIR

| external_program < "$TMPFILE"
Duh. This should work in 95% of the cases. In the other cases file
size of TMPFILE is involved, so redirection would not work as-is.
Have to check whether that rest is really 5%, and whether
conditionally calling cygpath is ok there.

Thanks for pointing out ;-) I must admit that after one week of trying
several SHELL environments on Windows and running into problems on
each my visual field is very narrow by now.
