If people are interested in this, you can take the code from Aquamacs  
that does this stuff. (not in epaths.h though!)
It loads the files in a useful order and also adds all subdirectories.
We now also load every site-start.el file in the path, thereby  
supporting automatically installed plugins.
Ask me for code if interested.
