Multiple options:
1) set it in the Windows environment (for example, win-pause, advanced
tab, environment variables, then add a new user variable)
2) use an editor that doesn't munge line endings (cygwin has the option of
emacs, vi, ...)
3) use the shell, since the edit is trivial:
$ echo 'export TMPDIR=/path/to/where/you/want/it' >> ~/.bash_profile

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
