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).
