This needs work on Windows because we do not have geteuid(), perhaps just
a compiler flag -Dgeteuid=getuid

I had a submitted a revised patch that just uses HOME, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/152050/focus=152135.
 I guess that didn't make it in yet.

Maybe that should be (untested):

    char* home = expand_user_path("~");

To avoid duplicating the getenv("HOME") code (e.g. if someone wants to
make a getpwuid fallback in the future).
