I have few freebsd and openbsd machines to test :)
I have related suggestion on this:
instead of using tempnam, use mkstemp. This recommends many manuals, but
openbsd only warns about this :) So when hacking autoconf forxwpe 1.5.x,
what about adding check for mkstemp, and try to use first mkstemp, then
tempnam and if none is available, than xwpe internal function ?
