It's used G__home() on Unix (and as a fallback on Windows) and it's
used for G_rc_path() on Windows (for some reason, the Unix version
uses getpwuid(), which is probably incorrect in this context).

It may also be used implicitly by library functions or external
programs looking for configuration files.
