Summary: import user doesn't work with CGIs

Initial Comment:
 I'm doing some CGI scripts for a job, and I've made   
some a series of libraries i'd like them to share--   
but I don't wish them to be publically installed into   
site-packages. The user mechanism seems quite suited   
to the task of easily modifying sys.path to include a   
more "private" library directory.   
  
Unfortunately, it won't work in this secnario,  
because there is no $HOME environment variable set  
when Apache calls the script.  
  
Here are a couple small patches to make it work if  
the scripts are running SUID or with Apache's suEXEC  
feature.
