The 0.25 series uses mysql.txt, for 0.26 mysql.txt should not be installed.

Dunno about this. MYTHCONFDIR is used both to locate configuration
files and as a location for caches. It would make a lot of sense
to allow caches to go somewhere else.

There are many, but other than those two I believe they are
just used for debugging.

As far as I know HOME is only used when MYTHCONFDIR isn't set. It's
used to create a myth configuration directory at $HOME/.mythtv
