After thinking about this, I will keep CCACHE_TEMPDIR. While ccache 
would perform better by default for caches on NFS if /tmp were to be 
used for temporary files, this would also open up for attacks since the 
temporary files need to be accessed by name (see for instance 
http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2002/Dec/210). Very unlikely, yes, but still 
a potential security problem not worth ignoring.
