Hmm, the idea was that, if $TEXINPUTS is not defined, it would get
replaced with an empty string, thus giving what you expect. Now that I
think of it, it might not be always true with [t]csh. But it certainly
works with [ba]sh.

This is only true with teTeX or other web2c 7.x based TeX systems. On
other systems, the result of that will be that the default search path
will be lost :(
