Here are some ideas for improvements. If you would like to contribute,
please send mail to me (kb@cs.umb.edu) first.
Make KPATHSEA_BITMAP_NAME allow both cmr10.NNNpk and dpiNNN/cmr10.pk.
Configuration files so, e.g., $TEXMFROOT can get evaluated at runtime.
Make default paths have $TEXMFROOT -- means have to have some way to set
the default for that at compilation, unless config files will do?
Don't call init_path at every lookup. (See end of tex-file.h.)
cd during filesystem operations, to minimize the pathname length constant.
Separate the routines needed for path searching, and others that are here
only because it's a common place -- i.e., a kutil library.
Do the right thing if both (e.g.) DVIPSMAKEPK and MAKETEXPK are set.
