/tmp/dotfile-dot not cleaned up after install

the tmp dir that's used during install isn't removed after install, this prevents multiple users on the same machine from installing dotfiles.

So I think something else must be happening here; dotfile-dot is (an admittedly poorly-named) file used to output the install log of homebrew dependencies. There shouldn't be anything in the code that prevents things getting installed at all.

Might there be a permissions conflict if user 1 installs the dotfiles (and thus owns the tmp file) and then user 2 can't write to it?
