buildozer does not support ~ in android.sdk_path

[bob-the-hamster]

In my buildozer.spec file, I set:

android.sdk_path = ~/misc/android-sdk-linux_x86

which is the correct location for my already installed and working SDK. buildozer ignored that, tried to redownload the SDK anyway (but failed, I will file a separate issue for that)

james@rhinoctopus:~/src/secrethamster/kivy/bobdirt$ buildozer android debug deploy run
# Check configuration tokens
# Ensure build layout
# Check configuration tokens
# Preparing build
# Check requirements for android
# Install platform
# Android ANT is missing, downloading
# Apache ANT installation done.
# Android SDK is missing, downloading
# Unpacking Android SDK

Also, I am sure apache ant is installed, since I was using it before, and which ant returns /usr/bin/ant

I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04

Testing a little more, I realize that buildozer.spec does not support ~ in path names

yeah, path names are not expanded, i did a patch for that, but didn't commit it because not sure it was useful, i don't think it can hurt thought, i'll push it.
