So far I never ran into that problem with the temporary directories
Creator builts into (till you actually build stuff:-). Unfortunately
there is no way to make cmake not write things, so without the
temporary directory hack it will create lots of directories and files
and people report that creator should not clutter up their drives just
because they want to take a quick look into some code.
