> Is it okay to (re-)define HOME in djgpp.env for different applications?

Yes, of course.  But beware: if one of these programs ever invokes
the other one, or is invoked by a program which exports HOME into the
environment, you will have subtle bugs on your hands.

So it is advisable to invest some effort to get both programs use the
same HOME, if it is at all feasible.
