 The attached patch causes boost::interprocess::get_temporary_path() to
 make sure the paths in the given environment variables are valid before
 assuming success.

 I'm using OS X, and had deleted the last directory listed in $TMPDIR,
 which caused boost::interprocess::message_queue to fail.  Granted, that's
 not likely to happen very often, but it'd be nice to be able to handle
 sabotage from an idiot like me.
