Summary	0000707: external modules search path
Description	From mpg: On a related note, I just ran some tests with kpse initialised and observed that the kpse loader completely overrides the standard loader. It is obviously doable (and easy) to reimplement the standard package.path-based searcher in Lua and insert it in the package.loaders table, but it's a pity since this loader already exists in LuaTeX. In other words, unless I'm mistaken the current logic for package.loaders[2] is the following: if (kpse not initialised) /* use standard loader and return / / try using kpse and return / May I suggest to change that to: if (kpse initialised) { / try using kpse / if (it worked) / return / } / use standard loader and return */ (And similarly for package.loaders[3] and [4].) Thanks, Manuel.
