(175/212) 464 - Environment variables in stored paths

Especially for using jEdit as portable app, it would be nice to have environment variables expanded, when path strings are read from files like recent.xml and perspective.xml. Of course, to make it really useful, environment variable replacement should be done before storing paths to these files (which IMHO shouldn't be optional as for displaying paths).

At the moment disabling the view option breaks the ProjectViewer option for storing variable-prefixed paths in the project properties. I have to come up with another API for plugins to use that is always going to work regardless of the view option.

That's why this request is mainly for \recent files list\ and restoring \previously open files\ at startup. I was hoping these things are core related only (recent.xml and perspective.xml).
