The binaries reside in /2008/bin/; the installer gives the choice to put symlinks in system directories. Would it make sense to place some ConTeXt symlinks into the bin directory? For Unixoid systems, I am thinking of these: mtxrun -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua luatools -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua and maybe place the stub "context" into this bin directory as well. I don't know how this would work for widnoze. I'm thinking of a potential casual user who has just installed TeXLive and should be able to simply run a "Hello World" document by typing "context myfile." Does that make sense?
