I'm trying to take a user-entered string, and convert any system
variables to their contents for use in my program. What's a good way
to accomplish this with as few libraries as possible? In other words,
how would I translate "$HOME/Notebooks" to "/home/matt/Notebooks" ?
I'm trying to do this with gcc with plain ole C code on a linux box -
but it would be nice if this was generic enough to work on all
compilers.

thank you!
