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
Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Script; $script = code2script('phnx'); # 'Phoenician' $code = script2code('Phoenician'); # 'Phnx' $code = script2code('Phoenician', LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC); # 115 @codes = all_script_codes(); @scripts = all_script_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924 four-letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. The ones currently supported are: alpha This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA". The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used. This is the default code set. numeric This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC". ROUTINES
