As I understand it, the whole point of this discussion is about
providing mechanisms to allow the initial value of `%load-path' to be
easily and cleanly customized, i.e., not by "patching boot-9.scm". ;-)
Then there is another question which is: _who_ performs this
customization and _when_? Neil (and I) initially suggested that this
could be done automatically by packages themselves at installation-time.
You suggest, OTOH, that this should be done manually by the sysadmin,
after they installed a package in some "unusual" path.
In either case, we still need (i) a config file holding the default
value of `%load-path', (ii) a script to manipulate that file (i.e., to
add/remove directories from it).
Thanks,
Ludovic.
