Summary: savepath includes homedir statically

Initial Comment:
This is rather a request for enhancement than a bug report.

I recently changed my login on my Solaris box. However,
the .scummvmrc file included the full directory to my
previous home dir, not a dynamic shortcut like "~".

When starting 0.9.0svn for MI2, I got the following
message after a few minutes:

Failed to save the game state to file:
monkey2.s00

No other explanation, so it was a bit mysterious at first.

So I'd say, it would be nice if ScummVM used the
current user's homedir as the root to .scummvm/ unless
specifically modified.
