Removing support for %HOME% has suddenly broken many programs. If people don't like it, we can consider deprecating it in some future version of GHC, but for now it should put back.

Only GHCi has changed here. Perhaps you're under the impression that we recently changed the behaviour of getHomeDirectory? In fact, it was introduced in GHC 6.4 and has always had the same behaviour, calling SHGetFolderPath on Windows. Cheers, Simon
