Actually, a better place in either case is spec_helper.rb. That way it doesn't depend on the runner, and once we are able to run files directly, they will get the var too.

Do the same thing in the spec_runner.rb or whatever file replaces it in the New World.

I would have the rakefile itself define HOME based on USERPROFILE if it doesn't exist then. I'd rather not see something like that put into the specs themselves.

Then you don't need to go and hack the specs themselves. In the new world, we'll likely have to modify the mspec spec runner and contribute the changes back to the mspec project. specrunner.rb and friends are effectively deprecated today.
