Indeed, after all, I start thinking that we need a separate package 
R2wineWinBUGS package for wine. The code with workarounds that makes 
special cases for wine becomes bigger than the original package.

Anyway, I do not have a nice short term solution, I have to admit: Hard 
to do sensible things without having temporary directories. So we need 
to write our own tempdir() function for use under wine now.
