MRI currently expects the HOME environment variable to be set under Windows. 
Various operations involving ~ and Dir will fail if HOME is not defined.

However, HOME is rarely defined under Windows by default. Instead USERPROFILE 
is what normally represents HOME. IronRuby is considering aliasing HOME to 
USERPROFILE if HOME isn't already defined at startup time.

Does this seem like something reasonable to do in our implementation?

Thanks,
-John
