Fails to build on Windows

[zyga]

Hello. I was curious about pollen and I wanted to see how a real project like pollen-tfl looks like. I was following the docs on my Windows 10 system. It seems there is something wrong with path-names, around tilde expansion: expand-user-path: bad username in path.

I'm attaching a complete login case that helps.

PS C:\Users\me\projects\pollen-tfl> raco pkg install pollen-tfl

I have substituted OFL fonts and removed all the references to local file paths. I have not tested it on Windows but I believe this will fix the errors arising from expand-user-path because there are no longer any user paths to expand.
