Title:
  Trunk will not start on Win XP due to no HOME variable

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When starting openlp.pyw, it falls over before it even starts with:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "openlp.pyw", line 283, in <module>
      main()
    File "openlp.pyw", line 245, in main
      log_path = AppLocation.get_directory(AppLocation.CacheDir)
    File "C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\bzr\openlp\trunk\openlp\
  core\utils\__init__.py", line 142, in get_directory
      u'Application Support', u'openlp'),
    File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 96, in join
      assert len(path) > 0
  TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

  This looks as though it is due to \openlp\core\utils\__init__.py it
  attempts to look up the os.getenv(u'HOME') variable regardless of
  system, and this doesn't exist on Windows XP causing the surrounding
  os.path.join to fail.

              return _get_os_dir_path(u'openlp',
                  os.path.join(os.getenv(u'HOME'), u'Library',
                      u'Application Support', u'openlp'),
                  None, os.path.join(os.getenv(u'HOME'), u'.openlp'), dir_type)
