If we want to support exact same behavior for gpgv-static, shared
libraries for NSS should come together with it.

GnuPG allows use "~" or "~username" to specify file.  To expand the
tilda, getpwnam or getpwuid is used.

~username can be expanded by NSS module of LDAP, for example.

I think that it is OK for gpgv-static not supporting tilda expansion.
