Tempdir is not removed.

The comment in clean-temp.h says that temp files/directories will be 
"automatically removed when the program exits either normally or through a 
fatal signal" .

However, the code in clean-temp.c seems only to deal with the fatal signal case.
Consequently, in most cases, they don't get removed (observed on GNU/Linux as
well as w32).  

Should there not be a call to at_exit in this module?
