Hello,

I just checked and apparently the home path expansion stuff is still in
place in released versions of chicken: My installation of CHICKEN reports

  Version 4.9.0.1 (stability/4.9.0) (rev 8b3189b)

and it has ##sys#expand-home-path and does automatic home path expansion
for standard I/O procedures such as open-input-file :-/

There is commit 4f91e654f04254ba1039e327460e643fefbf5e36 in CHICKEN's
Git repository that gets rid of this cruft, but it's not included in any
released source tarball, as far as I can tell.

I have removed the uses of ##sys#expand-home-path from the trunk version
of the OpenSSL egg, but I think it doesn't make sense to tag a release
at the moment.

Ciao,
Thomas
