for that to happen we need to define what system is and what is user in a pretty consistent and cross platform way (and not in the tetex n*m permutations way)
system: TEXMFDIST TEXMFMAIN TEXMFLOCAL TEXMFSYSCONFIG TEXMFSYSVAR
user: TEXMFHOME TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG
THat is how TL2008 will work on *ALL* supported platforms, including
windows.
TEXMFHOME = ~/texmf
where ~ -> $HOME on unix
~ -> %USERPROFILE% on win32
etc
Yes, till TL2007 we didn't have the distinction of SYS <-> non-SYS on
windows. But TL2008 will have exactely the same approach on all
platforms, including the same scripts (updmap-sys vs updmap, ...)
