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
grammar::me::util - AST utilities SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4 package require grammar::me::util ?0.1? ::grammar::me::util::ast2tree ast tree ?root? ::grammar::me::util::ast2etree ast mcmd tree ?root? mcmd lc location mcmd tok from ?to? ::grammar::me::util::tree2ast tree ?root? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides a number of utility command for the conversion between the various representations of abstract syntax trees as speci- fied in the document grammar::me_ast. ::grammar::me::util::ast2tree ast tree ?root? This command converts an ast from value to object representation. All nodes in the ast will be converted into nodes of this tree, with the root of the AST a child of the node root. If this node is not explicitly specified the root of the tree is used. Existing content of tree is not touched, i.e. neither removed nor changed, with the exception of the specified root node, which will gain a new child. ::grammar::me::util::ast2etree ast mcmd tree ?root? This command is like ::grammar::me::util::ast2tree, except that the result is in the extended object representation of the input AST. The source of the extended information is the command prefix mcmd. It has to understand two methods, lc, and tok, with the semantics specified below. mcmd lc location Takes the location of a token given as offset in the input stream and return a 2-element list containing the associated line number and column index, in this order. mcmd tok from ?to? Takes one or two locations from and to as offset in the input stream and returns a Tcl list containing the specified part of the input stream. Both location are inclusive. If to is not specified it will default to the value of from. Each element of the returned list is a list containing the token, its associated lexeme, the line number, and column index, in this order. Both the ensemble command ::grammar::me::tcl provided by the package grammar::me::tcl and the objects command created by the package ::grammar::me::cpu fit the above specification. ::grammar::me::util::tree2ast tree ?root? This command converts an ast in (extended) object representation into a value and returns it. If a root node is specified the AST is generated from that node downward. Otherwise the root of the tree object is used as the starting point. BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category gram- mar_me of the Tcllib SF Trackers [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation. KEYWORDS
