Hmm... doesn't say that in my set of man pages.

Anyway, in general I _would_ rather use tmpfile than mkstemp for
exactly this reason--tmpfile is defined on Win32.  (In fact, I think I
changed at least one mkstemp to tmpfile elsewhere in zinf.)  

The problem is that where mkstemp is used in vorbis, the file is
closed and then used later--not possible with tmpfile, because tmpfile
deletes the file on close.  The code can probably be rewritten not to
need this behavior; I'll keep that in mind.
