  Hi all,

  I'm looking at a following URL.
http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/kpathsea/

(1) "texmf.in-teTeX" seems to be useless.
    Is it a histrically important file ?

(2) In "texmf.cnf" there is 4 lines which contains
    both TEXMFLOCAL and TEXMFDIST at once.

% cat texmf.cnf | grep LOCAL | grep DIST
TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFSYSVAR;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFDIST
TEXMFDBS = {!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,!!$TEXMFDOC}
%   SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFDIST

     The priority does't seem to be consistent.

  "MAIN, LOCAL": in TEXMF and TEXMFDBS
  "LOCAL, MAIN": in SYSTEXMF and comment of SYSTEXMF

    According to the last discussion (thank you for the discussion),
    http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2007-November/015074.html
    "MAIN, LOCAL" should be the right order.
    Then SYSTEXMF and its comment should be modified, I guess.
