* SECURITY UPDATE: insecure temporary file and directory handling
  (Warty bug #2745)
* patch based on the Fedora update by Mark J. Cox, thanks
* gettext-tools/misc/autopoint.in, gettext-tools/misc/gettextize.in:
  method to determine PATH separator created temporary file in an insecure
  way; replaced the whole detection part with a simple hardcoding of ':'
  (Unix standard)
* gettext-tools/misc/autopoint.in:
  - use mktemp to create temporary file (instead of construction with $$)
  - check the success of all mkdir calls to protect against symlink attacks

Modified /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gettext.el so that it only uses
modify-coding-system-alist when it's actually ok to do so.
This closes: #110416 (xemacs21) and also closes: #141446 (emacs19).
