Latex formula does not work on Windows XP

[Shun Yoshi]

Inkscape version 0.45.1 and 0.46 on Windows XP

The "latex formula" extention does not work with the original eqtexsvg.py.
The problem is the name of the temporary directory created for eq.tex, etc.
Its full path is like

  C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\inkscape-xxxxxx

but it is treated in the python script as

  c:\docume~1\<username>\locals~1\temp\

latex.exe seems to reject tex files with tildes in their paths.
When I modified eqtex.py like, for example,

line 81:
  #base_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp("", "inkscape-");
  base_dir = "d:\\temp\\inkscape\\"

line 98:
  #os.rmdir(base_dir)

the extention worked.
