Split from comments in Bug #8044
It seems Util::portable_getpwuid sets "/" as user home on Windows. Not sure if
this is the best practise, but probably better not to mess with it.
The result of that is global_state_dir can end up as C:\.spamassassin, which is
a bit odd location.
Perhaps just fix set_global_state_dir to skip the portable_getpwuid parts and
let global state dir end up as LOCAL_STATE_DIR or userstate_dir.
There's lots of other code out there that relies on $HOME and other vague
things, but that's for another issue. Also could look at adding -H dir,
--helper-home-dir=dir for spamassassin command, so it can emulate spamd flow
better when required.
