[OS X TeX] Path Configurations from OS X

[Gerben Wierda]

The answer to this question can be found in the (Mac OS X TeX) Know How 
section of my web page: http://www.rna.nl/tex.html

generally, if you use my TeX distribution, you will not need to fiddle 
with texmf.cnf (which is also risky if you do not fully understand the 
'how tex finds files' issue).
