Hi,

It seems that character ':' (colon) is not escaped in ERL_LIBS, this way 
it is impossible to add path consisting of colons to ERL_LIBS variable.

Please, see [1] for details, the following construction won't work as 
expected:

ERL_LIBS="/home/user/c\:dir/elixir/lib" erl -s elixir start_cli

Comment: 'c:dir' is the name of directory
