Open Selected Filename now works with paths that start with ~/ referencing 
the user's home directory.

On Windows, external commands can be executed with lower than normal 
priority with the  "lowpriority" command.mode option like: 

command.name.3.*.bat=Low Priority Execute
command.3.*.bat="$(FileNameExt)"
command.mode.3.*.bat=lowpriority:yes

I often run multi-process and multi-threaded check builds and lints which 
are quite heavy and take a long time to run so this option keeps the system 
a bit more responsive to interaction while running. This wasn't implemented 
on Unix as the 'nice' command is easy to use, unlike Windows 'start' which 
has side effects. If anyone wants to implement an equivalent for Unix, it 
can be added.

The committed changes can be examined either in the repository:

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/scite 

or from 

https://www.scintilla.org/scite.zip Source 
https://www.scintilla.org/wscite.zip Windows executable (64-bit)
