kpsewhich -show-path=XXXX

It should be doable in lua code only, but it is also a 'todo' on my list: I promised Reinhard kpse.show_path(s) for the next beta.

Yes, it was quite easy, something like kpse.expand_var TEXMFDBS plus a loop over things mathing [^:]*, afair. Still, kpse.show_path will be nice. Thanks.

To avert the horrors of corrievorrie (q.v.) corriecravie is usually employed. This is the cowardly but highly skilled process by which both protagonists continue to approach while keeping up the pretence that they haven't noticed each other - by staring furiously at their feet, grimacing into a notebook, or studying the walls closely as if in a mood of deep irritation. --- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff
