both luatools and mtxrun are meant to be unstubbed

(1) luatools itself knows about the tree and therefore can start pretty 
fast

(2) mtxrun is the replacement for texmfstart so in our case one would 
have a slow stub loading a fast stub loading a program; i didn't test it 
but texmfstart could be a symlink to mtxrun

the context command can be stubbed indeed (i need to add that one, but 
it's still somewhat experimental)

	luatools --selfupdate
	mtxrun --selfupdate

should result in an updated versions
