Subject: When the HTML output dir is specified using --dir=~/foo, the tilde
X-Git-Tag: v2.3c1~3913
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c0e066a7b8f4de89efe683d48fa1a5d70a0b6160;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

When the HTML output dir is specified using --dir=~/foo, the tilde
needs to be expanded by mkhowto, since the shell won't touch it except
at the start of the complete argument.
