I do have this setup, but it produces grayscale crop marks.

I was told by two different printshops that grayscale raises problems 
with recent versions of PDF software (verification? imposition? I've not 
asked), that complains about that, because it treats grayscale as RGB, 
splitting it on C, M and Y channels, instead of mapping it only to the K 
channel.

I've seen there's something about that in the mailing list history. I'll 
look into that.

BTW, the MP file producing the marks is

metapost/context/base/mpiv/mp-crop.mpiv
