I'm not sure.

1. Temp directory does not fallback to $HOME.
2. Setting $HOME to "" might be a workaround.
3. On Windows Windows API is used to find out the user's home dir in case information from environment variables are not enough.

I don't really need this change, so if you believe it is an overkill, I'm happy to drop it.
