Note that for data files like the .ghci file it's probably better to use

I've added a proposal and a patch to Trac
(http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1987).

I'd like to suggest a slight change to this. Currently we put the user package database in

  <appdata>\ghc\<arch>-<os>-<ghcversion>\package.conf

so perhaps the GHCi startup file should be

  <appdata>\ghc\ghci.cfg

To keep all the GHC-related settings together in <appdata>\ghc.

Additionally, I propose we make no changes to what happens on Unix, and no changes to getHomeDirectory.

Cheers,
        Simon
