Unable to export VM on OSX #30

Yep, another one of those command incompatibility things…

mktemp: illegal option -- -
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...

I see that you're passing --tmpdir=. to mktemp. It looks as though -t . does the same thing in BSD's mktemp on which OSX is based.

I made the change on my local version, but obviously you'll want something that works cross-platform, and I'm not quite sure what that is yet.

Actually, -t doesn't do the same thing. It adds it onto $TMPDIR, so now my exported VM is hiding under /var/folders/ Perhaps TMPDIR=. mktemp -d would work better, maybe GNU mktemp supports that too. :)

TMPDIR=. mktemp -d works as well on GNU. Feel free to create a pull request :)
