+# Create a temporary directory, sort of like mktemp -d does.
+# Usage: mkdtemp /tmp phoey.XXXXXXXXXX
+
+# First, try to use the mktemp program.
+# Failing that, we'll roll our own mktemp-like function:
+#  - try to get random bytes from /dev/urandom
+#  - failing that, generate output from a combination of quickly-varying
+#      sources and gzip.  Ignore non-varying gzip header, and extract
+#      "random" bits from there.
+#  - given those bits, map to file-name bytes using tr, and try to create
+#      the desired directory.
+#  - make only $MAX_TRIES attempts
