mktemp portability

If you ever need to create a script, to run in the closest possible way in all the unix flavours -
beware of HP-UX behaviour of mktemp command.

It is the only unix system (I know) where mktemp do not create randomly named file/directory.

The result of its actions is just a display of generated name.
