`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 Note: mktex scripts, because these change the
working directory.  You should not ever define it yourself.
