Comment:

 Since we have an or_options_t, perhaps if we don't get home_env from the
 environment we could just default it to the data directory Tor is using?
 I don't know the data structures well enough to know if that's actually
 present in the or_options_t, but it seems like it would be a reasonably
 simple fix that wouldn't compromise security/etc in any way (and gets rid
 of any OS-specific startup script hackery).  This would be around line
 1074 or transports.c if I'm reading correctly.
