Hi Hans,
In the latest beta
texmfstart --page=1 --file=metafun-p.pdf
does not work. This is the verbose output
texmfstart version 2.0.0
locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in current path '.'
locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in caller path 'f:/Research/Feedback/AC'
kpse : direct (forced)
using 'kpsewhich' to locate 'metafun-p' in suffix space 'pdf' (2)

Even the simple
texmfstart metafun-p.pdf
fails with

using 'system' call: acroread
e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf
The first system call fails since ruby uses "/" rather than "\" as the
directory separator and windows does not like that.
The second system call fails since $page is '' (I don't know why). A
pdfopen --page --file filename
always fails.
The third system call fails since acroread is not present.
I fail to understand why $page is expanding to '' rather than 2 (or 0
in the second case).
