the reason for a separate three texmffonts is that it permits me to
update the main tree (wipe out, copy new) and still have my installed
extra fonts
(i tried to get a texmffonts var in the regular texmf.cnf but that was
rejected: objection "too many trees" while in the meantime we have more
trees in tl as well -)

ah, i see, so the problem is TEXMFMAIN in the dat file
before we start hacking ... this --ro stands for --rootlist so it may be
a list; so
..... --ro=TEXMFMAIN,TEXMF.TETEX,TEXMF.GWTEX
should work; can someone test that?
