I don't think this is significantly more clear than the current text.
"Use of `C:\.emacs' to define `HOME'" is only understandable by people
who know how Emacs on Windows defines HOME when it is not defined in
the environment. If we want to come up with a better text, let's make
it very clear.
How about this text instead:
Use of `C:\.emacs' without defining `HOME' in the environment is deprecated,
see `Windows Home' in the Emacs manual.
