Use optional env variable EMACS_LIVE_DIR to set emacs-user-directory. #83

Hi Sam,

My use case is that I'd like "emacs" to just be the vanilla emacs, but then, still be able to use emacs-live when I want to.

I use this to have Emacs Live configured under a special user, say, overtone. Then, from bash, I can run Emacs-Live as follows: $ export EMACS_LIVE_DIR=~/../overtone/.emacs.d $ emacs -u overtone

I am not sure whether this is useful for others too. What do you think?

Thanks. ~n
