Actually, replace_tilde only does the job for "~".  And only for the
current user.  (i.e., you can't do  "~someotheruser/tuxpaint/" like you can
in a shell)

I'm reminded of the 'wordexp()' patch, which I suppose I should apply, just
to get the ball rolling for Linux.

What do Windows programmers use?  And Mac?  Does wordexp() work on Mac?
