Ah, I see. Up until now, I knew that I could override temporary folder for
the console session. But I thought that any new program that gets launched,
will have the system value restored (including Make, of course). The test I
just performed shows otherwise (child process inherits the value). This
means I can probably use this localized redirection of temporary folder.

Thank you for your help!
