The problem here is where would you create it so that you always had
permission? /tmp is an easy choice for UNIX machines, but Icarus is used
on more platforms than that. I'm uncertain if there is a place that is
universally available.

This may be the best choice. I don't think we should build the code on the
fly since that requires too much coupling to the driver program, but the
driver program could provide the working directory to a script as needed.

There are a couple of different paths we could take on this. The script
could create a file with the current path as a define that any test could
use. Or we could make a macro that the the script would use to pass the
value e.g.(-D@PATH@ in the *_regress.list). Either is probably acceptable.
There may be other information we may want to pass as well.

Steve, do you have a preference?
