There is already an INIT that takes care of this (and more).  It's
called Fresh Start.  It allows you to choose the INITs that you
start up with, set up multiple environments of INITs for those
situations when you want to boot up with extra memory, and clean up
the System Folder by moving INITs, cdevs, preference files etc. into
separate folders.  It's shareware ($25).  Version 1.1 had a nasty
conflict with Suitcase; version 1.2 is out now and is supposed to
fix that.  If there's interest, I suspect the author, Bob Hablutzel,
could be persuaded to post to c.b.m.
