Or another way to achieve my goal, is to have swank-loader load a file, site-swank.lisp if it exists and to define a variable which will turn off loading of the user-init-file. Then I can build a site-swank.lisp that does the initialization I need for Lispbox and then disable loading of the users .swank.lisp. (I want to do this because the whole point of my Lispbox distro is to provide a stable a predictable environment.
i'm confused, why don't you just edit the swank-loader.lisp you distribute with lisp in a box? would this change provide some benefit other than making lisp in a box easier to build?
Assuming the idea is to avoid forking (however slightly) then the second option (first load site-swank.lisp in same dir as swank-loader) sounds fine to me.
