This is an interesting idea.  It relies on the fact that the user
doesn't change TEXMFCONFIG to something else, but besides that I don't
see any problems.

I'm not sure this means that there won't be any problems, though:  I
wonder why no one else came up with that before, and maybe it has been
tried and discarded.  We will have to think about that.  If it's
possible, it offers a very nice way to shoot yourself in the foot, but
also for convenient customization if you know what you are doing.

Now this is a bug report, please keep the bugnumber address in Cc - you

Just to remember this, I send this to the bug report.  Finally, it needs
to be fixed in tex-common, but not before the settings in texlive are
settled.
