#74 environment variable substitution

The little ~ symbol isn't recognized/expanded by bochs
to the complete path.

I have a file named /home/eks/ext2.flp and trying to
access it using ~/ext2.flp while being logged in as
"eks" generates:

Event type: PANIC
Device: [HD ]
Message: [HD ] could not open hard drive image file
'~/ext2.flp'

This should be very easy to implement. Marking for v1.3.

Ok, I didn't add recognition of ~/stuff but I did add
environment variable substitution. You can just do

$HOME/ext2.flp

I believe his is more generally useful, and I intend to use
it for other things than just home directories.

Changed name of this item to "environment variable substitution" since that's what got implemented.
