os.path.expanduser('~/foo') and MSWindows "My Documents"

[Tony Nelson]

On *nix, ~/foo refers to a file in a user's home directory.  On 
MSWindows, users normally look at "My Documents" in their home 
directory.  ISTM that a file that my program would put in ~/. on Linux 
should be put in "~/My Documents/" (modulo os.path.normpath()) on 
MSWindows, where a user would expect it.  How do you guys cope with this 
issue?
