This *is* a problem. If fmtutil puts a newly created latex.fmt into
TEXMFVAR, how can you ensure, that no $TEXMFMAIN/web2c/pdfetex/latex.fmt
is used by latex, even though TEXMFVAR precedes TEXMFMAIN in the TEXMF
variable? Answer: you cannot with the search path that you suggest.
IIRC, only context wants this. So, to avoid the trouble that I describe,
I suggest to use the simpler search paths and to let texexec handle
everything beyond that.
Note, that we are *now* not in the situation that we need to hurry and
implement a quick hack.

etc? What exactly do you mean?
