      We're in an environment that uses network home dirs. In the past, we've convinced the Minecraft launcher to store things in the users' homes by calling "set APPDATA=H:\Documents\Minecraft\" in a shell script before launch. New launcher doesn't respect this setting, and just uses the default APPDATA location on C:. This is bad.

      What I expected to happen was...:
      Launcher would respect manual changes to the current APPDATA location.

      What actually happened was...:
      Launcher ignores this change.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Call "set APPDATA=H:\Documents\Minecraft\"
      2. Launch Minecraft.
      3. Notice that all data files are being stored in the old APPDATA location on C:.
