I assume it's because users share Boa but do not have writing rights
(and rightly so) to the Boa dir.

Internally Boa uses the %HOME% env variable for this purpose.
On NT like systems this is %HOMEPATH%

CVS also requires a %HOME% to be set on windows (to store passwords),
so I made the decision long ago to require windows users to define
HOME if they want to store the resource config files in a home dir.

I'm not comfortable with changing this atm.
