I was talking about the Cygwin home dir. The home dir is a home dir.
It doesn't contain only stuff which is application dependent. It may
also contain arbitrary user-specific stuff. So the Cygwin home dir
is equivalent to the CMD homedir, which is %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%,
not %HOMEPATH%/AppData/Roaming/CMD.
