Hey Miller,

I just saw that you accepted and changed the sys_expandpath() stuff, thanks for that. There are two little related issues that I thought I'd bring up:

- in commit c78d6b22941725368af014fd0863b00e96f0dde7 "bug fix to sys_expandpath", you added some curly braces around the code at the end in "#ifdef _WIN32 section. They don't seem to do anything and could make the code confusing, i.e. the ExpandEnvironmentStrings stuff at the end is not part of the "if ((strlen(from) == 1 &&..." code block.

- second, MAXPDSTRING (1000) is bigger than FILENAME_MAX on Win32 (255). That is a source of crashes if anyone makes a string/symbol longer than 255 on Windows. I think we should be using the POSIX macro FILENAME_MAX rather than MAXPDSTRING anytime we are dealing with paths and filenames for that reason. Plus I think FILENAME_MAX is part of the C89 spec, so it should be very widely implemented. http://www.mofeel.net/957-microsoft-public-vc-language/11149.aspx
