Barring any complaints, here is a proposed semantic:

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=
	Ignored. Systems can be discovered through other means too.

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=. ;; or some other relative path
	Fail with an error that it should be an absolute path.

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=/absolute/but/nonexistent/path
	Work properly, there are just no systems discovered under it.

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=/a/good/path
	Works properly, systems found.

Later,
