Configuration Document

[Robert Olson]

I see; is there a reason we can't use the user temp dir for everything? (it 
makes sense for the things that I've poked at that use a temp dir). 
Wondering if there are things that make more sense to be in the system temp 
dir. (I like the default of using user temp for everything for a user 
client; I guess a service might need something different)
