[Distutils] --home on non-POSIX platforms

Some time in the distant past, it was decided that "install --home" would only be supported on platforms for which os.name == "posix". I think that decision should be re-visited. If a user specifies "--home <some-path>" on the setup.py command line, is there ever a reason to tell them they don't want the software to the installed in that way? Enabling --home for all platforms looks trivial from a quick review of distutils.command.install. Are there any objections to enabling this for all platforms in Python 2.4? -Fred -- Fred L.
