Slightly rewrote it, hope now it's easier to understand:
;;; symlink-manager cares about configuration files: it backs up files
;;; created by user, removes symlinks and directories created by a
;;; previous generation, and creates new directories and symlinks to

Yes, but some of them are closures and have to be in the let or deeper
in the tree, so I decided to put them all in the let.
