There's always still the choice to set up HOME as an environment
variable with backslashes, and reverse the slashes for all or
particular DJGPP-compiled ones in djgpp.env, just like it's done with
%DJGPP% or %DJDIR%, too.
OTOH, I'd expect most programs using $HOME at all to be able to cope
with Unix-style slashes, too --- it's a Unix-style environment
variable, after all.
