You might be interested to note that what you have written is basically the same paradigm that Nix uses, except with a content addressable store in /nix that the binaries are compiled from source to. All packages (read: binaries, libraries, configuration files) are symlinked from the store to wherever they are needed e.g. PATH, another package's environment, etc.
