[lokisetup] [PATCH] tmp races in makeself

[Stephane Peter]

Hum, true ;-)

OK I just committed the patch to CVS, with some changes using the date 
(as well as $RANDOM, can't hurt) for the directory being created. I 
didn't change the mkdir -p because there are cases when the directory 
may exist and we shouldn't fail. Namely when the user specifies 
--target.
