Sometimes, it is useful to start emacs with -q --no-splash, for
example for quick startup, or in order to avoid problems with
facilities like the server, or desktop.el, which only really work in
one instantiation per user.
However, my .emacs modifies load-path to point to my per-user elisp
files, and it would be nice if emacs -q could get these too.
The obvious way is to use EMACSLOADPATH, but this can only be used to
override the default load-path, not extend it. It would be nice if
something like
EMACSLOADPATH=":$HOME/site-lisp"
i.e. a value containing an empty path segment, could be used to extend the path.

$ emacs -q -L $HOME/site-lisp

Sorry, I wasn't altogether clear: I want this to work in a script that
could be installed system-wide, hence the requirement for Emacs to get
the setting from the environment or some other implicit method.

eval emacs -q -L $(print $EMACSLOADPATH | sed 's/:/ -L /g')

This bug should not be closed: a workaround for the bug has been
given, but no fix.
All I'm asking is to be able to use Emacs Lisp like other scripting
languages, where you can extend the library path in the environment.
