I tried (according to the new documentation): db_home: /%H/%U/cygdir and that was fine but %H was replaced by the /cygdrive/C/Document and Settings/<user> prefix, although i was expecting the /cygdrive/C/Home/<user> prefix instead. I have to confess that i used here the nearly-to-be-obsoleted XP SP3. But i also use W7 sometimes, and it would be great if i could have "db_home: /%H/%U/cygdir" in both of them (yes my username has to appear twice): no /etc/passwd any more.
