-----------------------

I'd like a switch for the emacs command line, something like
--user-emacs-directory, that sets the user emacs directory on startup,
rather than hardcodes ~/.emacs.d/. So, for example:

  emacs --user-emacs-directory ~/mine.d/

Will look for the emacs init.el in ~/mine.d/init.el.

-----------------------
