'fraid to tell ya that INSTANCE_HOME is hard wired into the code.  We're
not likely to change that lest we want to get the 'evil eye of Jim'.
But seriously, it is a pretty good idea to have something like this in
one place, for us at least, not you.

I cannot therefore recommend that you modify your Zope.  I also cannot
recommend that you would modify it in lib/python/AccessControl/User.py
in the Super class around line 270 or so.
