This is the main item, because this requirement implies using non-standard 
executables. I agree with you that such a distribution would be a great 
thing to have, but unless some people are actually willing to invest (a 
fairly large amount of time) in it, it is simply not going to happen.

I have started a project last spring, whose goal is to deliver almost 
precisely a "standalone, fast and idiot-proof distribution of ConTeXt", but 
it has been a one person affair so far, and I do not have unlimited time to 
spend on it. Anyway, have a look at
