The destination directory is not fixed. For example, if you copy the
updmap.cfg file to $HOMETEXMF/web2c, the script will also use $HOMETEXMF
as the destination directory for the generated map files.

I plan to change the strategy that texconfig / fmtutil / updmap use for
writing their config files and variable runtime data and th new strategy
will make it even easier to switch...
