You are right. I was thinking only in terms of texdoctk, which has no
provision to deal with complicated path definitions, regardless whether
or not the directories exists. However, kpathsearch is inteligent enough
to not include nonexisting directories in the output of things like
'kpsewhich --expand-path=\$TEXMFDIST'. Good!
