I made some more test: context finds really everything in the
texmf-trees. I looked a bit at the trace of context and compared it
with latex. The only really obvious difference I see is that
mtxrun.lua loads a texmf.cnf and a texmcnf.lua. The contents of the
cnf is simple: It defines some variables for the roots. E.g.
TEXMFLOCAL=J:/MiKTeX2.9
TEXMF={C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/..., ....
and some parameters for hash size etc.
texmfcnf.lua contains only
return {
TEXMFCACHE=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Ulle/Lokale
Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/MiKTeX/2.9
}
I was wondering a bit if this texmf.cnf resets the pathes but
couldn't confirm it. Even replacing it with another texmf.cnf didn't
correct the search pathes. (And it is regenerated on-the-fly if I
delete it).
