Hi Bob,
TEXMFCONFIG (typically ~/texmf) is for personal additions or changes
to the system-wide defaults.
No, that is TEXMFHOME, not TEXMFCONFIG. TEXMF[SYS]CONFIG (and
TEXMF[SYS]VAR) are not intended for arbitrary use.
Years ago, in conjunction with Thomas Esser, I wrote down info about the
different trees as best I understand it myself at
http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-110002.3
arise because one must currently choose *either* local *or* personal,
but not both. But both are useful.
Granted.
Best,
karl
