> Hello,
> some time ago I asked question about how to add support for additional user
> texmf trees. I found how to accomplish such task. This is what I did:

> 1. took sources (rsync from svn)
> 2. made changes in files texk/kpathsea/{cnf-to-pathis.awk,texmf.cnf}
> (patch is attached)

	The programmers of old were mysterious and profound.  We cannot fathom
their thoughts, so all we do is describe their appearance.
	Aware, like a fox crossing the water.  Alert, like a general on the
battlefield.  Kind, like a hostess greeting her guests. Simple, like uncarved
blocks of wood.  Opaque, like black pools in darkened caves.
	Who can tell the secrets of their hearts and minds?
	The answer exists only in the Tao.
