I also think most users don't have a texmfhome.

The technical implementation is not the problem indeed. What bother me
is that I fear having two different files for the same purpose (namely
~/.texdoc.cnf and the present file) can be a source of confusion hence
possibly problems.

Well, one could argue that the only people who know about the config
files are those who read the manual, and that the manual could contain
an explicit warning. I'll see.
