I tried (according to the new documentation):

db_home: /%H/%U/cygdir

and that was fine but %H was replaced by the
/cygdrive/C/Document and Settings/<user> prefix, although i was
expecting the /cygdrive/C/Home/<user> prefix instead.

I have to confess that i used here the nearly-to-be-obsoleted XP SP3.
But i also use W7 sometimes, and it would be great if i could
have "db_home: /%H/%U/cygdir" in both of them (yes my username has to
appear twice): no /etc/passwd any more.

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
