Thanks for the work-around. But it has the following drawbacks:

1. The portable applications' directories would be tainted by symlink
files which are system specific.

2. It won't work on systems lacking symlink support, like on Windows.

Okay, if you guys really dislike the idea of configurable module
search paths, how about just continuing searching the original
installation prefix after searching the current server prefix
specified by the -p command-line option fails? As you've said, we
already have two prefixes, then let's search both! :)

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,
