There have been objections in the past towards letting reconfigure issue the
TeXFiles.py script to update our information about cls, sty, bib and bst files
for (performance reasons IIRC).
OTOH it is confusing that users have to press "Rescan" buttons to get up-to-
date data e.g. in the BibTeX dialog. Furthermore, chkltx.cfg is limited for it
does not test for files in some TEXMF subdirectories, e.g. fonts/ (since
\IfFileExists does not consider these directories). For future font support
enhacements (e.g. support for OTF fonts in the TEXMF tree), it would be
important to have this information as up to date as the packages.lst.
So I went ahead and checked how expensive this really is. With a complete
TeXLive 2012 installation rather dated machine, I get this:
real 0m1.671s
user 0m1.282s
sys 0m0.291s
Subjectively, the reconfiguration is really not significantly longer than
before.
Thus, I propose the attached patch (for trunk only).
Objections?
