Instead of search for the first valid "HOME" directory, we should 
probably be looking for the first one that contains the file we need 
since all of the directories usually exist.

I'm not sure about the order of the search. I would put "HOME" first 
because if it is explicitly set (esp on Windows), then it is probably 
intended to be the "primary" home dir.

Having trouble finding the original report though that led to the above 
search being added, so I'm not sure of the exact problem it was intended 
to solve. I don't want to break anything.
