How and where is HOME set from /etc/passwd?

[Andrew DeFaria]

According to http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.home if not 
set in the Windows environment then the entry in /etc/password should be 
used. Where is this accomplished? Because I'm not seeing it happen. 
Instead /etc/profile is invoked and HOME is set to nothing and 
/etc/profile tries to create a directory of no name and fails.

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
