updatecontext woes

[Joel C. Salomon]

I just tried running ctxtools --updatecontext on my minimal
installation.  It successfully downloads & extracts cont-tmf.zip,
mktexlsr remakes all formats, then LuaTools and MtxRun start doing
some configuration magic:

?

Evidently something's gone wrong, and I have no idea what.  I hope
this is enough info to diagnose the problem.

  You need a newer LuaTeX binary; many things have changed in
hyphenation and language issues in September and the current ConTeXt
uses the new scheme. The last snapshot-0.15 should be enough.

Is the new binary in
<http://minimals.contextgarden.net/minimals/mswin>?  If so, I'll just
try Vaytcheslav Yatskovsky's InnoSetup installer.

  I'm afraid not, according to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/New_ConTeXt_Minimals_%28Implementation%29#Current_state_of_binaries_in_minimals
(it says 0.11.2 which dates back to 2007-09-18 and that's not enough).
On the other hand, you can always download the binary directly from the
GForge repository on supelec.fr and replace it manually, in that case
http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10&release_id=252 (scroll down
to the middle of the page to see snapshot-2007-10-29 == snapshot-0.15).
