A while ago I've committed a patch for the 'component-library-search'
procedure to make it work with environment variables (many thanks to
Peter Brett, who has written all these functions and perfect
documentation on these, I mean geda-scheme.info).

For the previous/current geda-gaf versions you can make them esteem
the '${HOME}' variable by using a line like this in ~/.gEDA/gafrc:
  (component-library-search (expand-env-variables "${HOME}/symbols/") "mylib:")

HTH,
