Long ago I suggested, and started to implement, a "-I" option. Not sure 
if having an option is any better though. As for a search path; we could 
take the BB2 approach of searching some particular _relative_ and global 
dirs. With the option to add to the search with the above env var. Hence 
the need for "proper" installation is reduced.
