I have just set up Cygwin, and noticed that my default home was under my
"Documents and Settings" directory (not yet having run mkpasswd). However,
the /etc/profile setup which tries to only create the warning message
about running mkpasswd and mkgroup once can't deal with a HOME environment
variable with a space in it. Here is a patch to allow that to work:
