bug#11767: 24.1.50; feature request: being able to specify init.d path

[Ivan Kanis]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

I am currently juggling with three versions of emacs. Since compiled
files differs between versions I would like to be able to pass the
init.d path as an argument. It would be a new argument. I am thinking of
something like this:

emacs --init-path=/home/ivan/.emacs.d/bzr

or

emacs --init-path=/home/ivan/.emacs.d/24.1

or

emacs --init-path=/home/ivan/.emacs.d/23

Well you get the idea.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
