| All output goes to /tmp/q, which you can watch with this shell command:
|
| tail -f /tmp/q
|
| If TMPDIR is set, the output goes to $TMPDIR/q.

| All output goes to /tmp/q, which you can watch with this shell command:
|
| tail -f /tmp/q

So, this is junk code for debugging that says right in the description
that it's dirty. Writing to a fixed string filename in /tmp, really.
This certainly isn't production quality code.

I don't think this is actually used in floss, it's in setup.py but there
is no "import q". Can you just kill the dep instead?
