[Midas] where to store "temp" files

[Zach Mullen]

The thumbnailcreator example is a good one of how we do it; we use a
subdirectory of /data, and then make sure we clean up any temporary files
after we are done.  As long as the server has appropriate permissions to
write into the subdirectory, that should work fine.

Thanks,

Zach
