This script can be used in one of two ways.

It can be loaded in the context of your shell, by executing
    . linuxcnc-plasmac/scripts/rip-environment
after this, commands like 'linuxcnc', 'halrun' and so on refer to the
version in this directory, instead of to an installed version of
linuxcnc (if any)

Second, it can be used to run a command in this directory without
modifying the environment of the calling shell:
    linuxcnc-plasmac/scripts/rip-environment command...
such as
    linuxcnc-plasmac/scripts/rip-environment halrun foo.hal
    linuxcnc-plasmac/scripts/rip-environment linuxcnc configs/.../foo.ini
