You might want to truss it to see what it really does, or see what
it leaves, if anything, in an empty directory you set HOME to.

So rather than having it setup in each Makefile.sfw, where it
would just work and nobody has to care about it, you think everyone
doing builds should have to go update their env files after your
putback to set HOME to something? Don't you think that's a bit much to
ask everyone else to do? That's even assuming it doesn't harm anything under
HOME too.
