Comment:

 Actually, I think the two or three dialogs that we and Firefox throw up in
 the face of the user before saving a downloaded file satisfy the "at user
 option" bit of that goal. Changing the TEMP env var seems like a good plan
 to me.

 But, how about a patch that works on all three platforms, though? Does
 that mean we should patch Vidalia, or can we set the equivalent env vars
 in the start exe/start app for Win+MacOS?
