Dear Wolfgang,
Thank you for taking the time to go through the example and indicating these improvements.
I will definitely evaluate and start applying this to my own code.
Kind regards,
Jan Willem

There are lot of things which can be improved in your example.
1. Pass the filename of the component/product to \startcomponent and not
some dummy name (or just use *), this allows you to print the filename
with \currentcomponent or \currentproduct
2. Use \setvariables or \setupdocument to set the document title,
revision etc.
3. Use \startsectionblockenvironment to move setups from the document
content into the environment file.
4. Use pagestate=start to increase the page counter with
\startstandardmakeup.
5. Set search path for figures (\copypages use the figure mechanism)
with \setupexternalfigure[location=...].
Below is a modified (but untested) version of your sample document.
