IMO using some strange Micros~1 definition is _not_ the right way to go.
Problems like this should probably used on the toolkit level.

It probably will vanish, when g_get_home_dir() from glib-1.3 (than 2.0)
is used.
It returns the homedir; if not available the tmpdir; if not available
"C:\". And all the people not reading any FAQ but starting complains
have probably deserved to get the C: root dir filled with junk
and they probably won't even notice :-)
