It should.  There is code in there to handle turning ~ into HOME.  This is the
main issue with supporting ~/ -- there is no OS or library support, you have
to code it yourself.

if (string[0] == ~) {
  sprintf(string, "%s/%s", HOME, string[2]);
}

or whatever.  And no, the blackbox code is not that silly.

Where specifically are you having problems with ~/ support?
