Under Windows texexec.pl does not function very well because of:

my $IniPath = `kpsewhich --format='other text files' -progname=context 
texexec.ini` ;

Thee '-quotes around 'other text files' should be "-quotes, or you will
get the wrong answer from kpsewhich! I don't know if using " will break
the script on Unix?

Another problem: this one works just fine:

pdftex.exe -progname=context "&cont-nl" file.tex

but this one does not:

perl.exe texexec.pl --interface=nl file.tex

"tex capacity exceeded" (strings and pool size): that's because
"-progname=context" is not there. In texmf.cnf there are many
".context" specifications, a few ".cont-nl", but not when it comes
to memory settings. I think it would be wise (or at least more safe)
to add "-progname=context" to texexec.pl when running a tex job!

I know, there is no good reason not to use hugetex, but the current
(tex live 4) texmf.cnf still assumes low memory settings.
