With Windows (using XP) the problem is far nastier.  Simply
opening a file with that name:

    gvim "foo ~ foo"

causes problems.  Specifically, I receive the following
message:

    E303: Unable to open swap file for "foo C:\Documents and Settings\Bill 
foo", recovery impossible

Notice how the '~' is expanded.

In my environment:

    HOMEDRIVE=C:
    HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\Bill
