What do people out there think about this:

Every rc sources .rcrc, but before doing this defines
certain variable (say $mode) to have certain values
depending on the mode. 

Then you can do in .rcrc:

  switch ($mode){
    case login;  . $home/rc/login;
    case inter;  . $home/rc/inter;
    case inter_login; . $home/rc/inter; . $home/rc/login;
  }

Well, I did not think much about the values (inter_login looks
ugly), but I hope you get the idea.
