The versions of windows that the port supports (NT4, 2000, 2003, XP) do
have home directories. The "Documents and Settings" (except NT 4 which
uses "Profiles") directory in windows is like /home in Unix. Using my
XP Pro box, I see two relevant environment variables HOMEDRIVE, and
HOMEPATH. On my box they are set as follows:
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\matthew
So: ~/.postgresql/ = C:\Documents and Settings\matthew\.postgresql\

Hope that helps.
