TEXMFCACHE could be added to texmf.cnf (TEXMFCACHE=$TEXMFVAR).
In general, having another variable name/tree in texmf.cnf does not
make me happy, but if it's the right thing to do, fine. Can someone
please describe its purpose (as distinct from the other trees) in a
couple of sentences so I can put it into the documentation?
Maybe there is a similarity with FC_CACHEDIR? I have to say I don't know
how it's used by XeTeX or ConTeXt.
Anyway, TEXMFCACHE would be the place to look for cached file, currently
only fonts.

Yes, ConTeXt uses it for filename database, font cache, ..., see
texmfcnf.lua, but only for luatex, and the value for latex
could/should be the same anyway. (Doesn't lualatex use
texmfcnf.lua?)
LuaLaTeX doesn't use texmfcnf.lua, currently it doesn't need it and it
seems really ConTeXt-specific (as written in the file). But maybe
TEXMFCACHE could belong here?... how does the kpse library handle
texmfcnf.lua?
Maybe we're not yet ready to add TEXMFCACHE, a temporary solution would
be to fix the loader for it to look in the current directory...
What do you think?
Also, I was wondering if it was a good idea to change
TEXINPUTS.lualatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{lualatex,latex,luatex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.dvilualatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{lualatex,latex,luatex,generic,}//
for
TEXINPUTS.lualatex =
.;$TEXMF/tex/{lualatex,lamed,lambda,latex,luatex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.dvilualatex =
.;$TEXMF/tex/{lualatex,lamed,lambda,latex,luatex,generic,}//
?
Thank you,
