 We might want to think about library metadata as well. I'm
 half-tempted to go with a full-blown database of installed modules
 rather than play "walk the filesystem" games.
Maybe a bit overkill, but what about SQLite?

Definitely overkill. We want something that we can map in and get access to quickly, with a minimum of fuss. I was thinking more like a chunk of bytecode with a frozen data structure in it. I'm not sure we want to be making SQL queries every time we do a use or require. (On the other hand, it may come to a point where that's the reasonable thing to do, though I think I shall be very scared... :)
