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.
