-1 on proposed scheme. In my opinion: currently realized in bzr is most 
win32 native.

($HOMEDRIVE + $HOMEPATH) -- its definetely BAD idea for win32 native. 
Because on some machine it pointed to C:\. On other machines it pointed 
to something like C:\Documents and Settings\username\. On my working and 
home machines this points to C:\ and I'm very unhappy to see that other 
python programs (like IDLE, IPython, Boa Constructor, ...) store their 
config data in C:\.idlerc\, C:\_ipython\, C:\.boa-constructor\. I know: 
it's because the bug in python ntpath.expanduser() function. But in the 
end -- it's Bad.

We discuss this places earlier and make conclusion that $APPDATA -- this 
is native win32 way. It point to location like C:\Documents and 
Settings\ursername\Application Data\. And to this folder all native 
win32 application store their data. Including Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird.

If Jari want to work in restricted environment then should be the way to 
set once BZR_HOME or HOME at least by administrator guy. But in the end 
during one console session command `SET BZR_HOME=your/path` should work 
OK. Simply create batch file that will open console and set this 
variable at start -- and you have working bzr (see how MS Visual C++ 
does this in vcvars32.bat file).
