Well I think is not too bad at all.
I didn't know about label macro btw, why not flet?

If I can suggest something I like to add directories in the first level
automatically to the load path, because normally if I put something
there I want to use it.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defun gen-path-dirs ()
    "Add to load path all the subdirectories of first level"
    (interactive)
    (message "adding all directories in the first level to the load-path")
    (dolist (dir (directory-files conf t))
      (if (and 
           (file-directory-p dir)
           (not (file-symlink-p dir)))
          (add-to-list 'load-path dir))))
  
  (gen-path-dirs)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
