Ok by me, but I always have %HOME defined. But I think you
should see how Wireshark solves exactly this problem:
  http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/epan/filesystem.c

function get_persconffile_dir_no_profile() etc. Look at the comments
for this function. I trust Wireshark (Ethereal) is more up-to-date and
conforms more than most OpenSource packages. 14 years in the
making:
