That would be an indirect test, that doesn't tell a whole lot if things not
work to the expected results.
I'm trying different configurations right now, but it seems the result always
/home/$USER. And I'm not sure, if it is my misunderstanding, mistakes in my
cygwin configuration, or errors in system configuration?
It would be wonderful to have a way to directly test different schemes, even
if only for current user.
