Well, you can use getenv(), which is in std.c.stdlib (you'll have to use 
toStringz().)  You'd just want the "HOME" variable.

Note that on Windows, the closest match would probably be USERPROFILE or 
APPDATA.  If you care about Windows.

function or something? Thanks :D

Another way would be to use the std.path.expandTilde function, i.e.

import std.path;
...
char[] rsrcDir = std.path.expandTilde("~/myresources");

And it'll get you the path within the user's home directory.
