Could you please elaborate on how will this work for users? E.g., how
about describing the steps a user who installs Emacs should do to
install these additions? I don't think I have a clear picture of what
you intend to do, and the files you committed are just the starting
point, so they don't answer this question.
Btw, I don't think I understand why you insist on using 'concat' to
generate files names from 2 components: that's what expand-file-name
is for, and it does that better.
One other not about the code you committed is that modifying PATH from
within Emacs is not generally a good idea, it has some subtleties.
