I'm not sure about the semantic yet, but should that not handled similar 
to what is done for windows in (Lua 5.1) luaconf.h?
<cite>
/*
** In Windows, any exclamation mark ('!') in the path is replaced by the
** path of the directory of the executable file of the current process.
*/
<\cite>

i.e.: "!" instead of "...", correct?

Please excuse my question (I'm a windows user), why these thing is 
solved differently at all?
