Metod,
I must admit that I misunderstood Werner's first mail.  I thought that
he wanted teTeX to be changed, but his reply to my mail made clear
that he just asks for a configure option, as you suggest.

Werner,
you mentioned the following directories:

/etc/texmf/
/var/lib/texmf/
/var/cache/fonts/
/usr/lib/texmf/
/usr/share/texmf/

All files in texmf are platform independent and can be on a read-only
file system.  So we only have

/etc/texmf/
/var/cache/fonts/
/usr/share/texmf/

If Thomas agrees that $VARTEXFONTS should be /var/cache/fonts/ instead
of /var/tmp/texfonts, what remains is only the symlink to texmf.cnf.

I use Slackware, so I cannot look into the files.  Can you explain
what you mean?  Isn't it sufficient to set the $PATH appropriately on
a client?  I do not understand what you man with "this package
conflicts with all other teTeX packages.".

Regards,
  Reinhard
