kpathsea: KPSE_DOT expansion

 
 5.3.5 'KPSE_DOT' expansion
 --------------------------
 
 When 'KPSE_DOT' is defined in the environment, it names a directory that
 should be considered the current directory for the purpose of looking up
 files in the search paths.  This feature is needed by the 'mktex...'
 scripts ⇒mktex scripts, because these change the working
 directory.  You should not ever define it yourself.
