I understand... Hiring a psychic probably isn't an option. However if
you take a look at TeX live, you'll see that they just deliver almost
everything them selves... So why not include lua and lcdf-typetools
precompiled with ConTeXt. Have everything statically compiled so it'll
just work.
This isn't pretty... But it'll work...
