so maybe put the files in /ligs/mf and have the search path set up as 
ligs// (as thomas suggested)

is there a philosophy for goin sub-path? personally i find

   texmf/fonts/ligs/whatever.lig
   texmf/fonts/ligs/xyx/another.lig

confusing and prefer things like

   texmf/fonts/ligs/generic/whatever.lig
   texmf/fonts/ligs/xyx/another.lig

(same for map/enc paths, generic or base instead of mixed parent/child)
