Override file location

[James Thompson]

Is there a way to override where the system uses for the texmf.cnf file.

I'm wanting to blend fpTeX & teTeX into a single directory structure that
will support solaris, linux, and win32.  I found mention of a TEXMFCNF
environment variable but it seems to specify the web2c directory not the
file itself.  Since the texmf.cf for fpTeX wants drive letters and the
unix version doesn't I assume they can't be one and the same file so I'd
like to have texmf.cnf be the unix copy and texmf_w32.cnf be the windows
copy in the same share/texmf/web2c/ directory.

Thanks,
James
