I recently switched to an MMP for some project we depend on heavily
(http://toolserver.org/~citegen/ - citation template generator)
and I found out not everything works like on a normal account.

For example, our webserver interface does not set $HOME in
the environment, so for each project I might need to hardcode
its base directory:

https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1341
Webserver FastCGI interface does not set $HOME

Probably something like __FILE__ from PHP should be used
but the point was to migrate a working tool and work
on refactoring together later.
