Using {$HOME} would be more portable. The Bourne shell (/bin/sh) on
Solaris (9/10 - OpenSolaris defaulted to ksh) doesn't support ~
(although csh, zsh, bash, tcsh, ksh and just about all the other
bundled shells does, it sh is the default shell)
(Checkin proper quoting in case it contains spaces might be necessary..)
