According to the APR docs for apr_global_mutex_create():

fname 	A file name to use if the lock mechanism requires one. This argument
should always be provided. The lock code itself will determine if it should be used.

So the compiler claims tmpnam() is evil, but all the alternatives involve
actually opening a file, which isn't what we need.

Does APR have a temp file creation function? Are the APR docs above about the
argument always being provided correct, or is it really safe to pass NULL to
this function on all platforms?
