That's right: I was trying to bring makeAbsPath into line with
expandPath. It's clear why the latter supports "~": Because one might
want to configure the path to, say, the lyxpipe as: ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.
How useful it is in the other case, I'm not sure, but I was surprised
when it didn't work during my testing, so....
I was not aware that expandPath supports ~ notation. I think it should
not, actually... Making these variables relative to user_dir would be
more useful (so that it would work when user_dir is renamed).
That would be excellent, yes: We could store a relative path and
interpret it as relative to user_dir. But ending support for ~ would
break at least one user's preferences file. ;-)
