Summary: ntpath.expanduser() is still wrong

Initial Comment:
I found a system with the following setup:

- os.getenv("HOME") returns "%USERPROFILE%"
- os.getenv("USERPROFILE") returns the home directory

Currently, ntpath.py doesn't expand ~ correctly in this
case.
The fix is pretty simple, I'll try to submit it if I
have time.

This is very common setting on Windows2000 Professional.
