  If dropping rc files, how do I do something like this,
  i.e. load things from a directory but don't complain if there
  is no such directory:

(define (cl str) (if (access? str R_OK) (component-library str)))
(cl "sym")

So why do you want to use that format, you could use s-expressions
or whatever markup language, e.g. http://repo.hu/projects/lihata/

On the other hand, if you write the parser yourself, you can extend
it in a suitable direction.
