Just checking. Instead of replace the call sites, can we check and setenv("HOME") if it's missing instead? MinGW port already replaces main(). Extra initialization should not be a problem. I feel "getenv("HOME")" a tiny bit more familiar than get_home_directory(), but that's really weak argument as the number of call sites has not increased in 4 years.
