I like this solution.  It uses one of the functions that adds the DWIM
(Do What I Mean) functionality to my .emacs file.  I don't need to
know about "C:\" (WinDOS) or "/usr/msrw" (Un*x) -- I just need to know
"~".  The path returned by expand-file-name deals with the specifics
of whichever OS I'm on.
