You might have a look at statlive.org. In particular, I use invocation
directory to set paths for everything else:
;;Set drive letter or mount point, making the software relocatable.
(setq ipoide-root (substring invocation-directory 0 (- (string-match "Emacs"
invocation-directory) 1)))
See the files at the end of the page on assembling the portable system:
http://statlive.org/software/livedvd/assembling.html
The project is going through a major upgrade and the goals include trying
to script the assembly process for the portable environment and organizing
the project so others can contribute to development.
