I'm sorry Karl, but I think I agree with Reinhard. To me the following
list of config files would look weird:

TEXMFDIST/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
TEXMFLOCAL/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
~/.texdoc.cnf

Are you sure a complicated idea is a good idea? :-)

Anyway, I'm not completely opposed to changing things, but for now  I'm
afraid I can't see why we should (and I'd rather avoid adding complexity
to the system unless it deserves a clear purpose).
