Summary0000339: Various small extensions to the lua kpse module table
DescriptionSo far, we have (all from Tomek):

With kpsewhich it is possible to specify
a search path explicitly with the -path switch, but this functionality
is not exposed through lua kpse lib. Could this be added?

There are a few other kpsewhich options not covered thus far:
1) -all output all matches, one per line.
2) -engine=STRING set engine name to STRING.
3) [-no]-mktex=FMT disable/enable mktexFMT generation
(FMT=pk/mf/tex/tfm).
4) -subdir=STRING only output matches whose directory ends with STRING.

(1) and (4) could be occasionally useful (although the latter one can
be trivially implemented in terms of the former one in Lua). For the
remaining ones I have no opinion, I've never encountered the need for
them myself. Perhaps also kpse.version should be added for version
checking?
TagsNo tags attached.

#3473 implements kpse.lookup(), taking care of 1,3, and 4.

for engine support, run os.setenv('engine'), this is also what kpsewhich itself does.

Ah, I forgot. #3474 implements kpse.version()
