Hello,

the only reason this functionality was included in the first place, was
that CHICKEN's standard I/O procedures used to perform automatic home
directory expansion, so I wanted the OpenSSL egg to behave similarly. If
I'm not mistaken, the standard I/O procedures no longer do home
directory expansion by default. I think it would make sense to also
remove this functionality from the OpenSSL egg. If needed, one could
always make use of the pathname-expand egg explicitly, which would make
the intent clearer.

Ciao,
Thomas
