Re: The $HOME variable; rxvt and .inputrc

1.  Does the admonition against setting $HOME as a Windows environmental
variable still stand, or was that an old wives' tale?
If $HOME is set it windows then it MUST be a windows path, or you can break
other (non-cygwin) programs that respect $HOME. Other than that
setting $HOME is fine, as cygwin will convert the variable to a unix style path.
