Description

TMPDIR should be preferred.

If /tmp is preffered, we cannot specify the temporary directory on Unix
because /tmp is always exist.

If we can specify the temporary directory, we can remove garbage temporary files easily
even when ruby terminated abnormally as:

mkdir $HOME/rubyspec.tmp.$$
  TMPDIR=$HOME/rubyspec.tmp.$$ ruby mspec ...
  rm -rf $HOME/rubyspec.tmp.$$
