Programmatically or from the shell prompt?  mktemp, which was just announced
on this list, from Chuck Wilson's "misc" package should do this for you at
the shell prompt.  mktemp() does this programmatically.  BTW, this isn't
really a Cygwin question so you might want to follow-up on some mail list
discussing C library calls if you have further issues.
