I remember that XEmacs 19.13 and 19.14 had problems with `load-path'
containing ~-prefixed directories, such as `~/site-lisp'.  And
really, the documentation says:

    Note that the elements of this list *may not* begin with \"~\", so
    you must call `expand-file-name' on them before adding them to
    this list.

However, this doesn't appear to be true anymore -- and it's certainly
not true in GNU Emacs.  XEmacs 20.3 works with `~'-based constructs in
load-path correctly.  A cursory look at the code also seems to
indicate that the directory is expanded at the right places.

Is it time to remove the warning?
