OK ... are you supposed to find it out by looking at the environment
vars, or is there another API defined?

I am planning to consolidate the platform dependency into a function
defined like

        static bool pqGetHomeDirectory(char *buf, int bufsize)
        {
                -- Obtain pathname of user's home directory, store in
                -- buf[] (of size bufsize)
                -- Return TRUE if succeeded, FALSE if not
        }

If someone can whip up and test a WIN32 version of this, I'll take care
of the rest.

                        regards, tom lane
