mktemp tempfile wrapper

Hi Jim,

Thanks for incorporating mktemp into Coreutils.  We're currently using a patch 
in Linux From Scratch that installs a `tempfile' wrapper script, for those 
packages still out in the wild that call `tempfile' rather than `mktemp'.  
Would such a wrapper, or similar functionality be of interest for Coreutils?  
If so, the patch can be found at 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/development/mktemp-1.5-add_tempfile-3.patch,
 though it may need massaging for the Coreutils implementation.

Regards,

Matt.
