OS independent way to read/write paths?

I can't think of a good reason not to. Unless anyone objects, I say
backport it.

Regards,

Dan

In 1.9, ENV["HOME"] will be set to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%,
%USERPROFILE%, or Personal Folder, at the start up. But now
I noticed it is not in 1.8, should it be backported?
