Prior to this commit, the cleanup trap that removes the tmp dir
created by the script would fail on Windows. The error was silently
ignored by the script.
On Windows, a directory cannot be removed while it is the working
directory of the process (thanks to Johannes Sixt on the Git list
for this info [1]).
This commit eliminates the 'cd' into the tmp directory that caused
the error.

There were 3 instances of a 'while read; do' that used identical logic
to populate '/tmp/right_dir'. This commit groups them into a single loop.

The 'tar' utility is not available on all platforms (some only support
'gnutar'). An earlier commit created a work-around for this problem,
but a better solution is to eliminate the use of 'tar' completely.

mktemp is not available on all platforms. Instead of littering the code
with a work-around, this commit replaces mktemp with a one-line Perl
script.

The comment from an earlier commit did not reflect the actual reason this

The 'git difftool' allows the user to view diffs using an external tool.
It runs a separate instance of the tool for each file in the diff. This
makes it tedious to review changes spanning multiple files.
The 'git-diffall' script instead prepares temporary directories with the
files to be compared and launches a single instance of the external diff
tool to view them (i.e. a directory diff).
The 'diff.tool' or 'merge.tool' configuration variable is used to specify
which external tool is used.
