Leading slashes in temp file paths for "rerun"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pyp v2.12 (svn rev 238) cannot be run at all on Windows (native Python, not a 
cygwin port) because the temporary files  '/%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt' for "rerun" 
functionality of pyp are created with an unnecessary leading forward slash in 
the file path. 

I think there is no reason to use '/%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt' instead of 
'%s/pyp_rerun_%d.txt'.

Python's tempfile.gettempdir() always returns an absolute path from the root of 
the filesystem on all platforms (see Python module source at 
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/tempfile.py#l130 ). 

Patch is attached. I have tested that everything works on Linux, and everything 
except "rerun" works on Windows (will post the complete fix for rerun on 
Windows later).
