 at the moment (wingrass64svn, wingrass65svn, wingrass70svn) wingrass-
 commandline (msys and cmd) points to the installation directory.

 there were some request to change this, i.e. to "windows home".

 there are a few possible windows environment variables which could be
 selected:

 (http://www.vistaonwindows.com/environment_variables.php)

 {{{
 [...]
 %HOMEDRIVE%     C:
 %USERPROFILE%   C:\Users\{username}
 [...]
 }}}

 attached patches for wingrass64svn, wingrass65svn, wingrass70svn to have
 the command line point to %USERPROFILE%.

 best regards
 Helmut

 p.s. my own favourite would be %HOMEDRIVE%

 any comments?

 best regards
 Helmut
