Reverse resolution of environment variables II

fix_path, programming, shell, tech
When I tried to add a new environment variable for reverse resolution by fix_path, it didn't work properly because at bbn there are multiple ways to refer to the home directory with different prefixes. (like /nfs/some/silly/internal/thing/home/jkaufman) So to fix this I've updated it: fix_path
