+The functions for creating temporary files and directories in the base
+library are quite limited. The unixutils package contains some good ones,
+but they aren't portable to Windows. This library just repackages the
+Cabal implementations of its own temporary file and folder functions so
+that you can use them without linking against Cabal or depending on it
+being installed.
