[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.99 beta 4

[Paul Spencer]

Bart,

my understanding of this was that it allows you to set and environment 
variable that Chameleon picks up and uses to relocate the tmp 
directories to the windows temp directory based on a standard windows 
environment variable (TEMP I think).

This can be used with a special launcher script (that you provide :)) to 
start Apache and launch a browser from a CD or USB drive.

That's pretty minimal but I don't have any more details right now.  This 
was added to support another client.  If you are interested in being 
able to do this, let me know off list.
