It would be awesome if the usual suspects (Ikarus, Ypsilon, Mosh,
IronScheme, etc.) could start adopting at least this part already. Of
course, they'd still have their own implementation specific environment
variables for locations that hold libraries only for that implementation.
This is what I currently do:
export SCHEME_LIBRARIES=/scheme:/home/dharmatech/scheme
export MOSH_LOADPATH=$SCHEME_LIBRARIES
export IKARUS_LIBRARY_PATH=$SCHEME_LIBRARIES
export YPSILON_SITELIB=$SCHEME_LIBRARIES
export MOSH_LOADPATH=$SCHEME_LIBRARIES
So it would help me out. And the "install" instructions in packages
would be more uniform, mentioning SCHEME_LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS specifically.
