THat is how TL2008 will work on *ALL* supported platforms, including
windows.
TEXMFHOME = ~/texmf
where ~ -> $HOME on unix
~ -> %USERPROFILE% on win32
etc
Yes, till TL2007 we didn't have the distinction of SYS <-> non-SYS on
windows. But TL2008 will have exactely the same approach on all
platforms, including the same scripts (updmap-sys vs updmap, ...)
Best wishes
