Is there a reliable algorithm to find a "per-user" directory on any
Win95/98/NT/2000 system?  On MacOS?  

Idea: Wouldn't it be nice if the 'nt' and 'mac' versions of the 'os'
module would provide 'os.environ["HOME"]' similar to the posix
version?  This would certainly simplify the task of application
programmers intending to write portable applications.
