The code calls windows-shell-folder, but I cannot find that function anywhere. What did I miss? The environment variable LOCALAPPDATA is not defined on my system. Why do we need it? I also think we need not override the code which already computes where to place the temporary directory. On GNU/Linux, this calls an external program; can we avoid that? Thanks.
