HI, 

I recently used $HOME as part of a path in the DL_DIR variable in my 
local.conf.  This caused bad things to happen during the build.  It essentially 
created a "never-ending" directory structure inside my build directory and the 
build failed.  I would like place a note in the glossary entry for the DL_DIR 
variable.  Can anyone provide some general reasons why a user should not use 
$HOME as part of the DL_DIR path that goes beyond "it will break the build"?

Thanks,
Scott
