It is for kpathsea, indeed (for example I keep my bib files in one
special place).

But fname_ /is/ an absolute path.

Yes, they are. For example, one could have their organization logo
placed as an eps in some place where latex searches by default. And
insetgraphics should be able to use them. This would require to use
findtexfile() in several places. I am not sure how difficult it is
though. I did it for bibtex because I do use BIBINPUTS for that.
