Actually, it seems to work perfectly in win32.  It returns the
HOMEDRIVE+HOMEPATH, just as you want.  One can set HOME properly and
it will return that instead.  I just verified this on WinXP.  I think
Alan has a point.  If this works on Mac and Linux, then it might be
worth using the built in function.
