That is right.  I am not going to demotivate you.  I have added
the two files (Makefile.in and src/epath.in) just now.

From your past mail:
| 2. Add a new macro PATH_SCMLOADSEARCH in src/epaths.in.  If we

|    PATH_SCMDUMPLOADSEARCH.

I think we don't need PATH_SCMDUMPLOADSEARCH.

| 5. Create a new module (emacs init) and place all Scheme
|    initialization code there.  This could load (emacs io).
| 
| 6. Load (emacs init) from lisp/startup.el.

I agree with this.  Maybe we don't need to load ~/.emacs.scm
in lisp/startup.el.

A list of functions/features might be helpful.  Not necessary to
be written precisely because they will possibly change soon.
