[Distutils] [issue125] macosx unittest failure for /tmp

[Kurt Schwehr]

New submission from Kurt Schwehr <kurtschwehr at yahoo.com>:

On the Mac, /tmp is a symbolic link to /private/tmp.  We are stuck Apple's decision to do this.  Hit this when trying adding code to the Mac OSX Fink distribute package.
