OK, this line in /etc/sudoers does it:
Defaults env_keep += "HOME LOGNAME EDITOR"
Then one can just do 'sudo visudo' and the tildes (the
~s) in the configs can be left tildes and still refer
to HOME.
LOGNAME is preserved otherwise this line
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal")
will break.
EDITOR is to get Emacs, of course.
I don't know if this is something that people
"typically" bother with, but now it works, and some
knowledge has been gained. Remember, "Little by
little, it's the finest meal - it's appetite for
hope..." And I agree.
