I think HOME is used for two unrelated things:
1/ the user_lyxdir. For windows, this should be something like
$USERPROFILE/LyX, I think (LyX/Mac already has special code to set
user_lyxdir, that should probably be generalized and cleaned up).
2/ the documents home. In windows this should be the 'My Documents'
folder.
So it is not as simple as replacing HOME with something else.
