Hi Corinna,

Thanks for showing this to me again, I'd probably let it pass by since  
Windows 7 wasn't on my screen back then.

Fair enough. A couple of hardlinks should then sort out the few cases  
where I can share a configuration between $HOME and $USERPROFILE when  
running both a Cygwin and a native Win32 version of the same application.

Good speed with the official 1.7!

Best regards
