Subject: What about a seperate "HOME" environment variable under w32?


The %HOME% environment variable is used by many programs under w32, so it's
really a mess sometime. I suggest Emacs use a different HOME variable
underw32, something like %EMACS_HOME% or %EHOME%. This can be backward
compatible if Emacs first look for %EHOME% variable, and if not found,
search for %HOME% instead. User can also set simply set %EHOME% to %HOME% to
get backward compatibility.
