GConf and $(HOME) on OSX

[Neil Williams]

A common source of problems on OSX could be incompletely configured 
environments - I've documented those that need to be set to build gnucash but 
the $(HOME) variable could catch out users as if it is not set, OSX loads the 
GConf druid every single time gnucash starts.

Whereas g_get_home_dir is used later, this define could be a problem if the 
environment is incomplete:
#define PATH_STRING1 "xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf\n"
src/gnome-utils/druid-gconf-setup.c

I can't see it's our fault if HOME isn't set but it might be wise to know in 
advance.
