I do not want to use the Microsoft version. There is no reason from me to change code and scripts to work with Microsoft's methods. Also I will not give up the unix developement environment that cygwin delivers to work with ConteXt. I'd like to know the the Context package that was submitted to TeXlive. I presume this was in soure format. How can I get that for the beta/current MKIV and build it myself?
