Perhaps Hans? I remember that he has some arguments for using cfg
i think that the only reasons were the additional map files, but that can now be done with \pdfmapfile in combination with the default map file; mayb eth ename of the default map file should be configurable in the texmf.cnf file: pdftex.mapfile=whatever.map;more.map that way we have the best of all worlds Hans

New subject: pdftex.cfg (was: pdfetex as the only engine)
eth ename of the default map file should be configurable in the texmf.cnf file: pdftex.mapfile=whatever.map;more.map
But, this is a step backwards. That's what an application specific config file is for, not the more general texmf.cnf file. Thomas
