change to TEXMF in tex-common



HI Frank, hi all!

After pondering various options of getting overrides to work setting
TEXMFSYSCONFIG to different values, I came to the conclusion that it
would be best, that we do NOT fiddle around with TEXMFSYSCONFIG (maybe
later), but change the TEXMF variable:

>From 
TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFCONFIG,!!$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

to
TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONFIG,!!$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

ie only moving TEXMFLOCAL to the front.

This way we have the option that local admins just put their override files
into /usr/local/share/texmf and be happy.

What do you think about this?


Best wishes

Norbert
