Made some basic utilites for cross-plattform usage, as well as for unified and simplified usage.
Reused and wraped RudiC's echo_, thanks again Smilie

Code:
#
# Some tools
#
	swarm.util.isRoot() { #
	# Returns TRUE if user ID is 0
	# Returns FALSE otherwise
		if [[ ${UID:-${EUID:-0}} -eq 0 ]]
		then	$ECHO true
			return 0
		else	$ECHO false
			return 1
		fi
	}
	swarm.util.isGUI() { #
	# Returns TRUE if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, DESKTOP_SESSION or XAUTHORITY is set
	# Returns FALSE otherwise
		if [[ -n "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP:-${DESKTOP_SESSION:-$XAUTHORITY}}" ]]
		then	$ECHO true
			return 0
		else	$ECHO false
			return 1
		fi
	}
	swarm.util.mkdir() { # /path/to/make
	# Creates full path structures
	# 
		${isRO:-false} && return 1
		# Remove any possible args from ARGS
		while [[ "-" == "${1:0:1}" ]] ; do shift ; done
		swarm.protect "$FUNCNAME" "${@}" && return 1
		# Vars
		local dir_done=""
		local dir_todo=$($PRINTF "${1:1}" | $SED s,"/","\n",g)
		# Start pipe
		$PRINTF '%s\n' "$dir_todo" | while read current
		do	# Prepare next dir
			dir_done+="/$current"
			# Create if not exist
			[[ -d "$dir_done" ]] || $MKDIR "$dir_done"
		done
		return 0
	}
	swarm.util.echo() { # [-e|-n|-en|-ne] STRING
	# Simple echo's, by RudiC @ unix.com
	#
		echo_(){
		  ( IFS=" "; $PRINTF "%s\n" "$*" )
		}
		# Portable echo -n
		echo_n() {
		  ( IFS=" "; $PRINTF "%s" "$*" )
		}
		# Portable echo -e
		echo_e() {
		  ( IFS=" "; $PRINTF "%b\n" "$*" )
		}
		# Portable echo -ne
		echo_ne() {
		  ( IFS=" "; $PRINTF "%b" "$*" )
		}
		
		case "${1/-}" in
		"n")	shift ; echo_n "${@}"	;;
		"e")	shift ; echo_e "${@}"	;;
		"en"|"ne")
			shift ; echo_ne "${@}"	;;
		*)		echo_ "${@}"	;;
		esac
	}
	swarm.util.isDir() { #  /path/to/dir
	# Returns true if passed string is a directory
	#
		[[ -d "$1" ]] 
		return $?
	}
#
# Short variable access to util functions
# and to keep file usage to a minimum
#
	isRoot=$(swarm.util.isRoot)
	isGUI=$(swarm.util.isGUI)
	isDir="swarm.util.isDir"
	MKDIR="swarm.util.mkdir"
	ECHO="swarm.util.echo"

But currently I'm still busy in re-thinking/doing the init procedure....
Well, unifying (is that a word??) the procedure of using functions to do different checks, keep/put all variables to RAM while put some essential ones (usage speed increase / customize options) in the 'rc' file.

The specific part of preparing configuration files & folders that are optional - because it must run on a Read-Only system as well, is quite more challenging than making it just in a "must-be-installed" way.
Also, with my... crazy... idea of implementing an optional ramdisk support (as root, for configuration and tempfiles only) didnt make the init procedure any easier.
Further, I need to 'bypass' the (so far hardcoded) use of /root because not all systems have it, thus I have to place the configfile (swarmrc) in another place, like using '/etc' if root has no $HOME.

NAME
page_util_peg - page PEG transformation utilities SYNOPSIS
package require page::util::peg ?0.1? package require snit ::page::util::peg::symbolNodeOf tree node ::page::util::peg::symbolOf tree node ::page::util::peg::updateUndefinedDueRemoval tree ::page::util::peg::flatten treequery tree ::page::util::peg::getWarnings tree ::page::util::peg::printWarnings msg ::page::util::peg::peOf tree eroot ::page::util::peg::printTclExpr pe _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few common operations to PEG transformations. They assume a Normalized PE Grammar Tree as input, see the package page::util::norm::peg, possibly augmented with attributes coming from transformations not in conflict with the base definition. API
::page::util::peg::symbolNodeOf tree node Given an arbitrary expression node in the AST tree it determines the node (itself or an ancestor) containing the name of the nonter- minal symbol the node belongs to, and returns its id. The result is either the root of the tree (for the start expression), or a definition node. ::page::util::peg::symbolOf tree node As ::page::util::peg::symbolNodeOf, but returns the symbol name instead of the node. ::page::util::peg::updateUndefinedDueRemoval tree The removal of nodes in the AST tree can cause symbols to lose one or more users. A used by B and C, B is reachable, C is not, so A now loses the node in the expression for C calling it, or rather, not calling it anymore. This command updates the cross-references and which nonterminals are now undefined. ::page::util::peg::flatten treequery tree This commands flattens nested sequence and choice operators in the AST tree, re-using the treeql object treequery to run the query determining which nodes to cut. ::page::util::peg::getWarnings tree This command looks at the attributes of the AST tree for problems with the grammar and issues warnings. They do not prevent us from writing the grammar, but still represent problems with it the user should be made aware of. The result of the command is a dictionary mapping nonterminal names to their associated warnings. ::page::util::peg::printWarnings msg The argument of the command is a dictionary mapping nonterminal names to their associated warnings, as generated by, for example, the command ::page::util::peg::getWarnings. The warnings contained therein are formatted and then printed via the log command page_info. This means that this command can be used only from within a plugin managed by the package page::pluginmgr. ::page::util::peg::peOf tree eroot This command converts the parsing expression starting at the node eroot in the AST tree into a nested list. The exact syntax of this list specified by the package grammar::peg. ::page::util::peg::printTclExpr pe This command converts the parsing expression contained in the nested list pe into a Tcl string which can be placed into a Tcl script. See the package grammar::peg for the exact syntax of pe. BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK This document, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category page of the Tcllib SF Trackers [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have. KEYWORDS
