[pdftex] Wrong search path for PDF/PNG/JPG files

[Pawel Jackowski]

Hello,

> PDF/PNG/JPG files are searched in
> 
>    .../tex/plain//
>    .../tex/generic//
>    .../tex///
> 
> The search path for PDF files is documented in the

Thanks for note, but now there is:

------------------------------
\pdfximage {pic.pdf} % read image pic.pdf (search for it in TEXINPUTS path)
------------------------------

> Note that pdftex treats PDF/PNG/JPG files as tex sources

Ok, meybe it is strange, but make things simple. Why not to modify 
TEXINPUTS variable so that kpathsea checks ./figures directory?
