I also dislike the current behavior and would like to change it. It's kind
of dangerous.

The changes:
- change all calls to tortoiseproc to contain "/tempfile" as a parameter
- Change the logic so that the path argument is deleted if /tempfile is
passed and not if /nottempfile is not passed as a parameter

Does this sound sensible? If so, I'll file an issue and implement it if no
one is faster in starting the implementation.

Everyone currently calling tortoiseproc with /notempfile will still have the
same behavior when installing a release with the above changes.
Everyone currently calling tortoiseproc without /notempfile will have to
add /tempfile when installing a release with the above changes.
