why --resource-dir=~ does not work?

Hello!

I thought the --resource-dir option accepted paths expanded by the shell. 
Why do they fail?

Sincerely,

There's no example invocation to look at, so I'm just guessing what you
are trying: is there an equal sign, as in `--resource-dir=~/.pandoc` ?
Shell expansion of the tilde `~` happens only at the beginning of an
argument. Use `--resource-dir ~/.pandoc` instead.

Indeed, something like that was the case; though the true home may do as 
well.

It seems that the problem lies in the shell I use: I'm running Cygwin64 on 
Win10, and somehow the shell does not interact too well with Pandoc for 
Win64. On BusyBox32 it does not complain.

Cheers!

for further reference, the interface to pdfroff does not work on cygwin 
either: I need to go through a pipe...
