Ah, I forgot about this thanks.
It looks like the current code wants drive-prefixes accepted, i.e.
'c:/ugly/windows/stuff'.
That sort of breaks the behavior of glibc and BSD where:
input -> getusershell () output
'bin/bash' -> '/bash'
Since it seems silly to accept some drive prefix in the middle of a
string.
I can't imagine anyone putting non-absolute file names in that file.
So I'll probably restrict it to one absolute file name per-line and
then trim any leading whitespace plus comments. Perhaps getline and
filename.h macros will help there.
