The original reason was to support the same user having Komodo running 
on multiple machines where the user settings dir were shared across all 
those machines. To avoid the multiple Komodo's stomping on each other, 
we put user app data files that must be specific to a particular machine 
in that "host-HOST" subdir.

Really on Windows what Komodo should be doing is putting some of those 
files in a the "Local AppData" dir (e.g. under "Local Settings\..." on 
Windows). In particular the "codeintel" directory is probably the main 
culprit causing you problems.

I hope to be able to switch this over for a subsequent release (maybe 
not in time for 4.2 though).
