User home

Is there any method to get the value of user home which in Linux would
be stored in $HOME?

Valid for windows and mac osx too

After of questioning on IRC:

It’s valid too on OSX.

In Windows it’s not always set, usually only if your system is on a
domain. But can be used ENV[‘USERPROFILE’] if ENV[‘HOME’] isn’t set
and you’ll be okay most of the time.

Works fine in OS X.

Rails has a Dir.user_home which is more complicated. No idea if that
works on Windows, but the source is here:
