What I meant is that Lars would like to add an additional root to
TEXMFLOCAL. E.g. As miktex hadn't luatex until last month I used for
some time the luatex from w32tex.org in a minimal texmf. In the
texmf.cnf I had e.g. a setting

TEXMFLOCAL    =
I:/TeX-Roots/UFlocaltexmf,I:/TeX-Roots/winfonts,I:/TeX-Roots/biblatex-beta

(the actual roots varied, many of them where added only temporarly).
