Hello Tetsuro.
I will answer your long post in detail later on.

It is especially important that network subtrees can be specified in such a property list file. Say you have a big company, where 5 guys test some stuff, and 20 others that uses the previous version. -Then it would be nice to change the network locations.
And you can't expect that any network volume has the same name as any other. It is for such stuff. -And some people would find it handy, to specify other paths to library files, than having them in the script menu also. I think everything should be so flexible.
Then everybody may end up with what they want and need.
Regarding Property list files.
As for the property list file thing. (I'm writing my own for my LibraryLoader ) should be of type "point and click" -easily implemented via apple script, with a file/folder choose dialog and some extra questions. No need for anything fancy, just something that avoid editing of the files manually. The locations of the AppleMods and Module Loader files goes untouched in these of course.

Mollison's Bureaucracy Hypothesis:
If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review
and be implemented it wasn't worth doing.
