I entered something like

	xelatex -kpathsea-debug=-1 dummy.sty

which generates reams of tracing output; then I searched for the line

	kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for dummy.sty of type tex (from  
texmf.cnf)

and extracted the path information from the "start search" line that  
follows; then I changed the colons to newlines just to make it easier  
to read.
