Summary:                    [patch] relax badshell tilde test
Description: 
The main Makefile has a target test called 'badshell' that tests if DESTDIR
does not happen to have an an-expanded tilde (~). This might be the case if
you run:

  make isntall DESTDIR=~/somewhere/

and the shell wouldn't expand it as expected due to either bugs or lack of
features in it.

However for packaging the Debian package we have, as part of the package
name, '~dfsg' and sometimes also '~rcN'. This is because '~' is a special
character for dpkg: 1.0~1 is a number smaller than 1.0 .

Thus I suggest to relax the test a bit: check for '~/' rather than simply
for '~'.

I'm closing this for now as there doesn't appear to be a resolution here.
Perhaps it would be best to discuss this on the asterisk-dev mailing list
to get an idea of how this should be resolved.
