It should be possible though. There are two files "texmf.cnf" in
TL2007: one for Unix and one for Windows. TEXMFCNF points to the
Windows version.
1. Determine where texmf.cnf for Windows resides
(kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFCNF).
2. Move this file to texlive/2007/bin/win32. kpathsea looks there
first and variables will not be overwritten by other texmf.cnf
files found later.
3. Remove TEXMFCNF from the environment.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
