That was a kpathsea library, 
	kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFCONFIG

I couldn't find any more details in that issue, maybe you know: Is it
possible to put *ANY* configuration into that .ini file?

If yes that would be exactely what I was looking for ...

DUNBAR (n.)
A highly specialised fiscal term used solely by turnstile
operatives at Regnet's Part zoo. It refers to the variable amount of
increase in the variable gate takings on a Sunday afternoon, caused by
persons going to the zoo because they are in love and believe that the
feeling of romance will be somehow enhanced by the smell of panther
sweat and rank incontinence in the reptile house.
