Actually, we've known about this bug for a long time, and have been
waiting for APR to grow a function that returns an OS-specific tmpdir.
APR *has* that function now, so it would be trivial to make svnlook's
main.c use that function instead of this current code:

/* Temporary subdirectory created for use by svnlook. ### todo: we
   need to either find a way to query APR for a suitable (that is,
   writable) temporary directory, or add this #define to the
   svn_private_config.h stuffs (with a default of perhaps
"/tmp/.svnlook" */
#define SVNLOOK_TMPDIR ".svnlook"

Anyone wanna submit a patch?
