I am limited to 16 MB in %USERPROFILE%, since this folder is mirrored onto
all PCs I use, and takes some time to transfer over slow WAN links.

The .TeXacs folder contains 3.90 MB after one day of light use
- 1.23 MB in .../fonts
- 0.54 MB is .../system/cache
- 2.92 MB in .../system/tmp

Perhaps the problem is the location of temporary files, rather than the
location of .TeXmacs itself
