I am going to start with * as an alias for $home in LYNX_CFG on Win32 only
and see how it goes.  There are some other places that react to ~ as well
but we can address them one at a time.  Some of them may be desired
(maybe). 

Just to clarify a point, Long File Names (LFNs) work as URLs.  This is
just a config setting problem.
