Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44694 (project octave):

It looks like


tilde_expand ("~")


should return HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH on Windows systems so maybe we should use
tilde_expand instead of getenv ("HOME")?

We may also want to export HOME = HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH in the octave.vbs
wrapper script since I suspect there is other code out there that expects to
be able to do getenv ("HOME")...
