Another vote for the excellent modules system from us at AgResearch. I think it's the only sane way to manage PATH, etc, when you have multiple versions of tools installed. http://modules.sourceforge.net/ I know I've said this before here. Tell all your friends. ;-)
Galaxy's dependency injection works in a similar way, without requiring all the external dependencies. We don't need unload since we compose a unique environment for every tool execution. This is much cleaner that loading everything into the environment before running Galaxy, we want tools to be executed with as clean an environment as possible.
