Does `evm config path`works correctly? #64

It does install the binary to a new location, but then it does not work:

$ ~/Local/emacs-24.5-bin/bin/emacs &

It works if you compile Emacs from scratch. The -bin versions are already compiled with /usr/local/evm as prefix. Unfortunately this path is determined at compile-time and hence cant be changed.

Thanks for the info.
