+@c This option is included at several places.
+@item --homedir @var{dir}
+@opindex homedir
+@efindex GNUPGHOME
+@efindex HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir
+Set the name of the home directory to @var{dir}. If this option is not
+used, the home directory defaults to @file{~/.gnupg}.  It is only
+recognized when given on the command line.  It also overrides any home
+directory stated through the environment variable @env{GNUPGHOME} or
+(on Windows systems) by means of the Registry entry
+@var{HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir}.
+
+On Windows systems it is possible to install GnuPG as a portable
+application.  In this case only this command line option is
+considered, all other ways to set a home directory are ignored.
+
+@efindex gpgconf.ctl
+To install GnuPG as a portable application under Windows, create an
+empty file named @file{gpgconf.ctl} in the same directory as the tool
+@file{gpgconf.exe}.  The root of the installation is then that
+directory; or, if @file{gpgconf.exe} has been installed directly below
+a directory named @file{bin}, its parent directory.  You also need to
+make sure that the following directories exist and are writable:
+@file{ROOT/home} for the GnuPG home and @file{ROOT@value{LOCALCACHEDIR}}
+for internal cache files.
