I made changes to mkarchiso and syslinux-iso/Makefile but... does not 
work (config file not found)

Seems that you only played with extlinux, because isolinux....

72       ++++ NOTE ON THE CONFIG FILE DIRECTORY ++++
73
74 ISOLINUX will search for the config file directory in the order
75 /boot/isolinux, /isolinux, /.  The first directory that exists is
76 used, even if it contains no files.  Therefore, please make sure that
77 these directories don't exist if you don't want ISOLINUX to use them.

And this documentation is up to date acording to the code
http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=blob;f=core/fs/iso9660/iso9660.c;hb=HEAD#l275

isofs still uses this custom method instead of generic for syslinux/extlinux
http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=blob;f=core/fs/lib/loadconfig.c;hb=HEAD#l14
