Default to /home/$USER unless a specific AD attribute is specified in some configuration file (maybe nsswitch.conf, maybe something else) and that attribute is non-empty. > 1.

Looks good, but maybe allow the AD attribute to be explicitly named (e.g. cygwinHomeDirectory). For local accounts maybe some environment variable or registry key should be available as a configuration option.
