What about adding your commands (exec loader.sce) in a file scilab.ini 
in SCIHOME ?
This file (scilab.ini) is detected at startup. If it is found, the it is 
executed.

You can also add your toolbox in the contrib directory:

In SCI/contrib, scilab.start tries to find loader.sce and if it finds 
it, it launches it.
So, add the commands necessary to launch your modules in this loader.

SCI = SCILAB_INSTALL_DIR/share/scilab/
