TEXMFSYSCONFIG isn't listed there either.

The output of texdoc -f shows that no configuration files are found:

polya:~/teaching/resources/STEP/2010 $ texdoc -f 
texdoc 0.61
Configuration files are:
    absent    /home/jdg/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-bin.cnf
(*) absent    /home/jdg/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
    absent    /home/jdg/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-dist.cnf
    absent    /usr/local/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-bin.cnf
    absent    /usr/local/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
    absent    /usr/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
(*) This is the recommended configuration file for your personal preferences.
