Completly hard coded pathes would be imho not really sensible: I
e.g. have tex systems on 3 PC's. But one could naturally use kpse to
get the texmf-path and so keep the documents more or less portable. 

But I was more thinking about a way to handle the configuration more
centralized. I have e.g. currently miktex, TL12 and TL13. All three
tex-systems have access to the same local texmf-tree where I have
stored some local fonts, blacklists for luaotfload etc. I think it
would be useful to have there some configuration file, where I could
put instructions like "if libertine is in the texmf-tree then use
it".
