It's not that easy ... (finding the right decision)

You could patch your private version.
You could set the new place in the system init file.
You could just use ~/.emacs.d or ~/_emacs.d in non-UNIX systems.
You could create a dummy user account and use that user's init file.
You could set user-emacs-directory on the command line (or a script/ 
alias).

Are there more possible ways? Just one for more than a hand full,  
half a dozen!
