Fair enough. On win95/98 there shouldn't be any problems with write
access to %USERPROFILE%.
I suggest the following:
gnubg read and writes .gnubgautorc, .gnubg/* to/from
(a) HOME on posix systems
(b) USERPROFILE on later windows versions
(BTW, should it be %USERPROFILE%/gnubg instead?)
(c) current directory otherwise
The interesting part is "migration" of existing user's profiles. I
simply suggest that gnubg copies .gnubgautorc from the data directory to
%USERPROFILE% if non-existing in %USERPROFILE%.
