Would the symlinking strategy you describe happen at every node in the directory tree of versions for a particular library? E.g., let's say you've got version 1.2.3 of R6RS library `(foo bar)' installed. Does the installation directory look like: foo/1/2/3/bar.scm foo/1/2/bar.default -> foo/1/2/3/bar.scm foo/1/bar.default -> foo/1/2/3/bar.scm foo/bar.default -> foo/1/2/3/bar.scm Regards, Julian
