Subject:	unison doesn't honor HOME when USERPROFILE is set, also permission/uid/gid problems when synchronizing

Hi

I installed unison-2.10.2-1 and tried to sync 2 directories
with the following default.prf in my /home/vzell/.unison

# Unison preferences file
owner=true
group=true
perms=-1
log=true

First of all unison didn't find my $HOME/.unison but instead created a
new one under C:\Documents and Settings\vzell :-( and second unison
didn't honour the above preferences after editing the new
C:\Documents and Settings\vzell\.unison\default.prf.


I compiled already unison in 2002 and used it to sync files with
different owner/group membership and, in case of new files with
permissions different from the umask value, I wanted unison to also sync
permissions. Both of this can be achieved with the patch below.

Any chance that this can be incorporated in the next release ?

By the way I had to export also the following env var to compile from
source:

export OSCOMP=cygwingnuc

Otherwise I get:
