System variables in path controls.

.. or should I say the ability to use them in path controls.

I.e. for windows NT machines entering "%SystemRoot%" in a path variable would return "C:\WINNT" at runtime.

Since the syntax of environment variables varies between systems it might be best to directly call into platform specific APIs. On Windows this would be ExpandEnvironmentStringsA in kernel32.dll.
