On Windows, HOME is spelled USERPROFILE or ,HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH. These
are set by default on Windows. The OS specific os.path.expanduser('~')
deals with this difference. I don't know what you are testing exactly,
but I believe cross-platform modules should use the latter instead of
the *NIX-specific HOME.
