Finding user's home dir

[Nemesis]

Mentre io pensavo ad una intro simpatica "Miki Tebeka" scriveva:

On my Win2000 box it returns "%USERPROFILE%". That's no surprise because
if you look at the code it try to use os.environ["HOME"] (as
os.path.expanduser() does). And on my Win2000 system this information
points to "%USERPROFILE%" field (I don't know why, I'm not the
administrator of that machine).
