What is the use of it to putting it there? No kpsewhich will *EVER*
search for it.... only if we adapt the ctxfmtutil script, but we can
hard-code the path anyway. This is *NOT* a default TeX input file, none
which is read by normal programs.

To /usr/share/texmf/web2c/$engine/ if it is writable, otherwise to
$TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/$engine/, ie ~/.texmf-config/web2c/$engine/

Because otherwise the formats are written to
/etc/texmf/web2c/$engine/
which is TEXMFSYSCONFIG, but we want .fmt files in /usr/share/texmf.
Did I get it completely wrong????
