[Netkit.users] shell-style expansion of paths in lab.conf

[Massimo Rimondini]

Dear Ashish,

there is no way to apply shell expansion to the contents of lab.conf
using standard Netkit tools, but you can by applying the attached patch
to your $NETKIT_HOME/bin/lcommon.

Please notice that, due to the way the shell performs expansion, the
tilde will still fail to be correctedly interpreted when used in
conjunction with long command-line options. Therefore, in order to
obtain what you need, you would use instead:

> pc1[m]=~/mystuff/my-modified-netkit-fs


or:

> pc1[model-fs]=$HOME/mystuff/my-modified-netkit-fs

Regards,
Massimo.
