pdftex supports jpg

right, context will parse eps/mps anyway, and when using pdftex, not parse
at all; 

when you have 100 Gig figures and want to run on another machine, you can
generate a tuf file (texutil --fig) and move that to the other machine

(did you ever try: texexec --fig --pdf fig-*.* or alike?) 

also, when needed context can run texutil itself (if enabled)
