Description
In MacPorts we have a mktemp tcl command but it only makes temporary files (Pextlib.c, added in r1045).
Sometimes we need to make temporary directories. For example, in the code that handles the "use_dmg yes" portfile directive (portextract.tcl, added in r36708), I used "exec mktemp -d" because the tcl "mktemp" didn't do this.
There's even existing code in port submit that uses the tcl mktemp as if it creates a temporary directory, which can't possibly work (portsubmit.tcl, added in r7272).

We can add a mkdtemp that calls C's mkdtemp() function, just like mktemp calls C's mktemp(). I'm thinking a good candidate for 1.8.0.
