The changes in the directory structure are explained in the release
notes for teTeX-3.0. These are part of the teTeX manual. Just run
  texdoc TETEXDOC
or visit
  http://tug.org/teTeX/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf

One thing that you should never forget is to run
  texhash
after adding files into a texmf tree.

Well, if you follow the right structure, there is no need to adjust the
texmf.cnf file.

Just create such a map file, then put it into the right place (and run
texhash) and enable the map file by running
  updmap --enable Map name-of-your-map-file

Thanks, fixed.
