Message:

lucenesearch needs to use a temporary folder to write out a file to. The windows TEMP envvar is not available through the apache webserver without passenv. This seems to be the only option, as the _tempnam and _tmpnam windows methods either try to write to the current working directory or, if they take a dir parameter, will also look in TMP and else use whatever folder you provide. We need to use the TEMP folder *because* we don't know what folder to provide (the collect folder won't be writable if GS is installed on and run from non-writable media like a CD-ROM.
