Roughly, the point is that some packages may want to install elsewhere,
not in `site'.  Therefore, the _default_ value of `%load-path' needs to
be configurable.  Typically, a package that installs to `/opt/foo' may
want to tell Guile to add this directory to its default `%load-path'.

Then, for a summary of the important stages of this everlasting
discussion, you may want to look at:

;-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
