So, this isn't going to help you much, becuase I don't understand it
myself, but it's worth explaining. In the early days of Therion it did
install various config files in the tex and metapost directories to
get used when processing caves.

However, whilst this worked fine on Linux, it was a pain for
Windows/Mac people (as they have no packaging). So therion changed to
'inject' the config files automagicially into tex and metapost as
needed. (So that's probably why you see this stuff in the tmpdir, but
not elsewhere).

I preferred it the old way as it made this sort of hackery easier (and
was more obvious what was going on), but patching it back was work
that didn't seem necessary and might lead to bugs unless I understood
all that stuff much better than I do. It's still on the 'would be
nice' list.

I expect it's possible to put a file somsewhere to override all these
things, but I don't know what or where.

So, not a solution, but may be useful background.
