TODO

-implement the get_temp_dir routine better... (is there a way of officialy getting such a directory ?).

-is there a better way to implement the get_temp_dire routine ?

-move the get_home_dir and the other function built to some library.

-maybe there is a better way to get my home directory than from the environment ?

-The is suffix routine and is prefix routines should be fixed for cases where the string they match has special (regexp type) characters in it. Watch the example in cook_touch.

-more routines should be moved to their own modules...

-reimplement the home directory of the current user just like any others.

-fix the cgid routine... (isnt there a better way to do it ?!?...)
