Also you can put a definition "HOME = whatever" into the main section
of the configuration file, and it will be used if there's no
environment variable of that name (that's the usual fallback to the
default section, $ENV::HOME means "look up HOME in section ENV"). The
current development versions have "HOME = .", i.e. use the working
directory, which is a lot better than having applications fail with an
obscure error messages when HOME is not defined.
