Taco's m-bib module may be downloaded from here http://www.cybercomm.nl/~bittext/temp/m-bib.zip

I'm not sure if there's any more user-friendly document than the source documentation in the zip, but after much gnashing of teeth it is possible to figure. :-)

1 Create a mydoc.tex 
2 create a mydoc.bib according to the BiBTeX layout conventions
3 For the simplest scenario, sort by author, you'll have to put something like 

\bblreadfalse

\setuppublications
  [database=mydoc,
   sort=author,
   sorttype=bbl,
   criterium=all]

in the header of your Context source.

There are other styles respectively defined in the style files:

% - the author (+year, title)  : cont-au.bst
% - the title  (+author, year) : cont-ti.bst
% - the short key a la abbrev  : cont-ab.bst
% - nothing at all (cite order): cont-no.bst

4 run texexec for the first time
5 run bibtex on mydoc.aux
6 run texexec for the second time and voila!

Hope this helps,
Christopher
