Can we make some of those colon-separated paths?

Not in the current implementation.  I've followed what was already there
(LIBRETRO_DIRECTORY).  Having a real multi-items search path would be
nice but in practice it has little benefits (it'd only be useful if you
had libretro cores distributed across multiple Guix profiles -- not a
very common scenario). Also, tokenizing strings in C is not particularly
fun, as I found out when I worked on that in my previous jgrf
submission.

Maxim
