it probably involves rehashing and such; since multiple prognames per 
application are rather special and probably only take place in setup 
scripts, i think that just reinitializing kpse is the most simple approach;

normally kpse is initialized at the first usage, so maybe it's just a 
matter of resetting a flag that tells the library that it needs to 
reinitialize (probably a reload of lsr files, but that's no big deal in 
setup scripts)
