texi2dvi used to trip over ~ in path names, so for locally building backports we used to rename the directory that the source was extracted to, substituting "~" by "-" before building. But I don't know if that was the reason for Dirk to change the scheme. It seems that this was fixed in texi2dvi upstream http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texinfo/trunk/util/texi2dvi? r1=7199&r2=7200 Johannes
