i'll look into that when i have time (keep in mind that mkiv/luate xis
rather fresh and not finished)

actually, i *wanted* to get rid of mktexlsr cum suis ... for several reasons
(1) more control
(2) different file daabase models (at some point running from one zip file)
(3) more speed
(4) less platform issues
kind trying to convert a square wheel to an elipse (much in tds/kpse is
driven by 20 year old file systems and systems, kind of steam engine
while now we have electricity)
although it will not be noticeable in public distributions i want to
support flatter file systems too (i.e. all files for a font in one path
and so) but that should not bother you (hopefully)
