FWIW, I like the idea too, especially since I often wondered why there were
two directories (so thanks for the explanation, too.)

Maybe this is naive, but I can do the following on my install :

$ kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFSYSCONFIG'
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config
$ kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFSYSVAR'
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var
