mkstemps


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

It would be nice to have mkstemps in cygwin.  In particular, git would
like to use it, because it is often the case that a temporary file should
have the same extension as what it is being modified from, for tools that
care about file suffix.  I've proposed adding it to newlib, but cygwin
doesn't use newlib's mktemp.c, and I'm not sure whether the changes are
trivial enough for me to do for cygwin (where I don't have copyright on
file), so I'm floating this out there to see if anyone else is willing to
write the patch.
