Summary: Fix for bugs relating to ntpath.expanduser()

Initial Comment:
Attached is a patch for sf bug #796219 that fixes
ntpath.expanduser() for paths that embed other
environment variables, and also includes functionality
that mirrors *nix-style ~user\extra expansions.

I will comment with output from both the unpatched and
patched version of ntpath.

I've just attached an updated version of the patch to handle
expandusers (without recursive environment variable
expansion), as well as a variant of
http://python.org/sf/1574252 to handle %VAR% style
expansions on Windows.

What problem is needed?

Perhaps you mean "this solution is desireable".

I uploaded the testing as text to alleviate text wrapping
issues that could confuse.
