SDK user shouldn't use developer's dotfiles [released]
Currently, the SDK virtual machine used for builds has the developer's real home directory set as the home directory in the virtual machine as well. This causes the SDK to use the developer's dotfiles, which can lead into various issues as they typically aren't designed to be shared between systems:
.profile and .bashrc can fail or mess up the environment in the virtual machine if they refer to software that only exist in the host machine (or exist in incompatible versions), such as python virtualenvwrapper or git prompt for bash.
.bash_history will include entries that only make sense in either the host machine or the virtual machine.
... [who knows what else]
Among other things, it also uses your home's .scatchbox2 folder, effectively destroying your existing Scratchbox2 configuration.
