It seems that a writeable per-user directory is needed.  Obviously 
Windows does provide a per-user directory for such files.  There is 
always a security hazard when supporting such powerful features in a 
writeable directory.

For Ghostscript fonts we use a text substitution algorithm where an 
input template file (type-ghostscript.mgk.in) has text looking like 
'@ghostscript_font_dir@' substituted with a path.  It should be 
possible to support a substitution algorithm in the mgk config files.
