Comment:

 Fixed in Cabal:
 {{{
 Sun Apr 17 16:41:35 BST 2011  Ian Lynagh <igloo at earth.li>
   * Refactor to avoid problems when $HOME is not set
   We now avoid calling getWindowsProgramFilesDir and
   getAppUserDataDirectory when we don't need to know their results.
   This means that a GHC build goes through when $HOME is unset
   (GHC trac #5047).
