Loading mapping files from other locations

Goal

I am using epitran in a quick project but I'd like to keep my install clean.
Is it possible to point Epitran to an external folder where I define my own custom mappings?
For full disclosure I am trying to create a jpn-Jpan mapping.

Even something simple like this:

import epitran
epi = epitran.Epitran('/my/mappinps/data/map/jpn-Jpan.csv', '/my/mappinps/data/pre/jpn-Jpan.txt', '/my/mappinps/data/post/jpn-Jpan.txt')

Unfortunately, there is not currently a way to do this (because Epitran has focused on being self-contained). Of course, it would be possible to add this, but I'm not able to do this right now). I suppose I would add a --path keyword argument that would add that hierarchy to the search path, If I were doing this. If you would like to submit a PR, we will accept it.
