shellutil.py: ignore tilde '~' as special character

Currently we don't need the tilde sign defined as a special character
inside the Python wrappers around the autotools files, it's not used any
there and breaks the build of Debian beta versions which uses '~' to
mark the Debian version as 'smaller than'.
