Set HOME accordingly, or, if HOME isn't set, use USERPROFILE instead?

Is that the directory in which Ethereal would be installed by default,
or does Windows 9x also use "C:\Program Files" as a directory in which
to place directories containing programs (UNIX users, think "/opt")?

One way to do that is to create a source subdirectory "win32" or "mfc"
or something such as that, at the same level as the "gtk" directory, and
write a native Win32 implementation of the Ethereal GUI code, replacing
the GTK+ implementation.
Unfortunately, we haven't yet completely separated the GUI code from the
rest of Ethereal, so you'd have to finish that as well.
Ethereal is currently a GTK+ application, so it's going to look like
one until it's modified to be built with other GUI toolkits.
