Somehow I doubt that _TeX the program_ dictates in what manner data
should be organized on your disk.  They have to be only available when
requested.  Anyway, many years ago my TeX on Atari ST was using
library organization for tfm files as well and undoubtely this was
TeX.  Most likely emTeX does that same thing.
