That depends on whether you assume the builder had a good reason for
setting the variable in the environment, but I can look at this your way
too since the CVS executable itself will look at $TMPDIR, $TMP, & then
$TEMP itself at runtime before it defaults to the value selected by
configure.  Anyone else care enough about this to register an opinion?

    And Mercy knelt a-weeping.
"Clear out!" he cried, "disordered wench!
    Nor come before me creeping.
Upon you knees if you appear,
'Tis plain you have no standing here."

Then Justice came.  His Honor cried:
    "YOUR states? -- Devil seize you!"
"Amica curiae," she replied --
    "Friend of the court, so please you."
"Begone!" he shouted -- "There's the door --
I never saw your face before!"
