Genesis v3.0.0

If the $HOME variable is changed then the location for the ~/.genesis directories are also changed. So, if a ~/.genesis/lib/* file was patched, that patch is not used for the installed version of genesis.

This is actually a feature of genesis, so that you can have different locations for your genesis files. It is used for CI testing, and quite frankly, I don't know if its possible to determine an alternate original $HOME if its been changed prior to genesis being called.

The issue here is the mismatch of which support libraries are being used. Maybe a GENESIS_LIB_HOME variable could be created. We need think through the edge cases.
