I agree.

I strongly disagree.  In fact I set HOME in the Windows environment
expecting Cygwin to map it correctly so that I can have a common HOME
for multiple installations of Cygwin.  It also allows me to to use
%HOME% in Windows scripts.

>   set HOME=//foo/bar	<- same

I agree.

>   set HOME=/foo/bar	<- valid, taken

I slightly disagree.  It boggles Windows scripts that could make use of
the variable and would only work for scripts where the working directory
device contains /foo/bar.
