The attached patch adds a :type attribute to foreign libraries(:system or :wrapper), per-library search paths(needed for cffi-grovel wrappers) and a function list-foreign-libraries. It also adds the readers foreign-library-type, foreign-library-search-path and foreign-library-loaded-p. Any objections against merging this ?

I haven't been following your work closely. What was the distinction between :system and :wrapper libraries?

:wrapper libraries are those auto-generated by cffi-grovel, while :system libraries are those installed on the machine (/lib, /usr/lib, etc...)
