The idea looks very smart to me, but a tiny C wrapper is probably
better because the win32 web2c doesn't have /bin/sh. Also, I am
wondering whether Hans can give us a calling convention for the
various format files/executables:
tex cont-nl ??
etex econt-nl ??
pdftex pcont-nl ??
I have all of those, and these happen to be the names I use, but if
Hans has a different scheme at Pragma I'd prefer to use that.

I'm not sure, but doesn't etex generate .efmt?

I'm working on something:
>texexec --help
TeXExec 1.01 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA 1997-1998
--language main hyphenation language
--output specials to use
--print page imposition scheme
--paper paper input and output format
--interface user interface
>texexec --help print
TeXExec 1.01 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA 1997-1998
--print page imposition scheme
=up : 2 pages per sheet doublesided
=down : 2 rotated pages per sheet doublesided
etc etc
This perl script generates an appropriate cont-set.tex file that is read
at runtime (you can already try this).
Because I use texedit, I can say:
set format=cont-en
or
set format=plain
or whatever, before starting.
It seems that web2c supports something
%& cont-en % first line in file
but I didn't test it yet.
I'm a bit busy (some deadlines already passed), buy I'll work on it.
