Site/Root variable including tilde results in URI error upon baking about piecrust2 HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks! And yes, actually, when I moved to multi-core baking, I realized the old method for baking "portable" website wouldn't work so I "temporarily" dropped the feature... only to forget about it :(

I'll look into the bug when I have some free time. No ETA or restoring the portable bake, though, I still need to find a good way to do it in a multi-process environment.

Ok so now I remember why I dropped the --portable option: it forces PieCrust to disable caching because the same piece of content (say, a blog post) appearing in different places (say, main page + blog post + a few tag listings) potentially needs to be rendering as many times (because the links need to be rendered with different relative paths). This totally kills performance, and has limited use since there are many tools (Python itself being one) that can run a small webserver for previewing something.

As for PieCrust failing to bake when site/root has a tilde character in it (or any other non-ASCII character), that was definitely a bug. It should be fixed with 55ad794, but I haven't pushed a new version on PyPi yet because I'm not totally convinced yet that this fix hasn't introduced some subtle bug somewhere... so if you can, please pull from Github and try!

Thanks for reporting this!
