Hi Mikael,

thanks for the patch, I have applied it.

It is incomplete in the following sense:  When I add another file
with `C-c [', the the expanded file names will be written back
to the file.  So maybe it would be useful to implement an inverse
operation in `org-store-new-agenda-file-list'.  I guess you cannot
get back environment variables because you don't know which
ones to use.  But getting back "~", and removing org-directory
might be nice.  Such a file could then be kept, for example
in the drop box and could work on different machines.

I have made a small patch implementing the following behavior:

With org-agenda-files = "/home/mfo/org/agenda", a filename.

| Line in agenda-file    | Expands to:                  |
|------------------------+------------------------------|
| $HOME/org/org-mode.org | "/home/mfo/org/org-mode.org" |
