I have a scenario which fails with the current mechanism - even if following the sym links worked. Assume that a user only puts a texmf.cnf under "$HOME/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf". That file will be used by "luatex", "pdftex" etc. but "luatools" will still resolve /usr/share/texmf/.../luatools.lua if it follows $SELF.
Thus I'm in growingly in favour of using KPSE (just) for finding "texmf.cnf" and "texmfcnf.lua"; for all other purposes including seaching files whatever other method can be used.
Would KPSE find texmfcnf.lua in $HOME/texmf/web2c ?
From one of your previous messages, I understand that it would *not* find it.
