Yes, but how about my proposed method?  We should
provide some mechanism in anyway.

As far as I know, 

ptex-bin, jtex-bin, multex-bin and xmltex (at least) will
need to modify texmf.cnf

ptex-jtex, jbibtex-bin and dvipsk-ja changed their packaging
at present (to avoid RC bug!) and don't modify texmf.cnf
but they are not in good situation.  For example, ptex-jtex
forces a user to modify texmf.cnf after installation.

There might be a few more packages which need to modify
texmf.cnf but I don't recognize them...

Best regards,			2002.3.4
