\subsection{Snow Configuration}
Snow is configured in the file $HOME/.snow/config.scm, requiring at the
bare minimum an empty alist:
\schemeblock{
()
;; (()) would also work
}
Note that the empty list is \emph{not} quoted! This file is not evaluated,
but is simply read as an alist of configurations. A more common example,
for use with packaging your own code, may look like this:
\schemeblock{

(maintainers "Alyssa P. Hacker <aphacker@mit.edu>, Eva Luator <eluator@mit.edu")
(license agpl)) ;; or gpl mit bsd etc.
