texfont problem on windows

[Duncan Hothersall]

I'm using the minimal windows installation of ConTeXt, texsync'ed today. 
The vptovf.exe program as used by the texfont script seems to have a 
version mismatch. It throws an error saying that it can't find 
tl80kpse.dll. In fact the version in the minimal tree is tl90kpse.dll. 
This means that texfont can't install new fonts, since no virtual font 
files are created.

I'm sure I can work around this either by updating my local vptovf.exe 
or finding the relevant dll on the web somewhere, but it should probably 
be fixed in the tree if possible. Thanks!

i'll have a look; there has been a moment when vptovf was a copy of vftovp in 
the source tree or bin tree of tl, and so i just copied the old one in my tree;
afaik this has been solved
