Overview
epminstall adds or replaces a directory, file, or symlink in a list file. The default list file is "epm.list" and can be overridden using the EPMLIST environment variable or the --list-file option.
Entries are either added to the end of the list file or replaced in-line. Comments, directives, and variable declarations in the list file are preserved.
