Where is that %HOMEDRIVE%HOMEPATH% coming from?

AFAIK %HOMEPATH% is optional, when not defined "\" is to be used.
That's at least how $HOME is expanded.  Oh wait, that's in the
installer.  In Vim itself %HOMEPATH% must be defined for $HOME to work.
But %HOMEPATH% should be defined in the environment.
