Of course.  But we don't want to be maintaining a fork of Emacs.
We are all on the same side when it comes to wanting to preserve
manpower for more important tasks, right?

Without excluding the possibility of an improved solution, we did not
think that we needed an env var out of convenience, or in the manner of
a temporary fix.

I am not able to answer myself, right now, whether what has been
proposed in this thread about redirecting trampoline writes would be
sufficient for us.  Hopefully someone else can chime in.

One thing that I can say for sure is that we need Emacs not to crash
when HOME is non-existent or otherwise not writeable.
I am not completely sure whether that is the whole of the issue, but it
may well be.

Dubious :P  I just wanted to ask, please CC both me and Rob in the
future, else I might have missed this thread.
