Summary: BeOS dislikes import tempfile in _execvpe()

Initial Comment:
UNIX style fork/execve/wait are not fully compatible with thread support on BeOS.
For Python, that means neither fork() from import nor import from a fork work
reliably.  os._execvpe() does the latter, importing tempfile to set up a tantalizing
target for hackers.  This patch replaces both the tempfile name generation and
the exec that uses it, in case we're on BeOS.  Need this for setup:distutils:execvp();
symptoms are random crashes and internal BeOS error messages about th
name, in case we're on BeOS.  It's an issue because setup.py + distutils calls
os.execvp();  symptoms are random crashes during setup.py, and internal
BeOS error messages about thread IDs.
