I'm telling about python3 -m venv VIRTUALENV_NAME, not about the virtualenv binary.

Some remarks:

1. `VIRTUAL_ENV` variable in `activate` script is the absolute path of the virtualenv folder

2. A symlink to the `python3` bin of the machine is created.

This makes the virtualenv difficult to export to another machine. The VIRTUAL_ENV variable must be manually changed. 

Furthermore I do not understand why the simlink is created. I suppose that `python3` is already on the `PATH`, so what's the purpose of simlink?

I propose to makes VIRTUAL_ENV eqauls to the parent folder of the directory where `activate` resides. It makes it possible to move the virtualenv and copy it to another machine with the same OS.
