It's not the job of the Makefile to do tilde expansion, that's the job
of the shell. I don't think it's a good idea to want to do tilde
expansion in the Makefile -- while expanding `~' does not appear to be
difficult (just use $HOME), consider `~jrl' which is not so easy (the
user could be in /etc/passwd, or NIS, or NIS+, or NetInfo).
