Hi,

concerning the mplibrary in mkiv ...

- it does not use the metafun mem file; when formats are generated a 
special mem file is made and put alongside the context format

- however, this only happens when a new version is found (is the case 
with a new zip), or when an error is encountered in the format 
(compatibility issue)

- in case of doubt, or when you patch metafun, you can say

ctxtool --touch
texexec --make

i will try to make this more robust in the future

the new mkiv mp graphics implementations is prepared for mixed usage, 
i.e. we can use multiple metapost formats; i'm still not sure about the
interface, for instance:

\startuseMPgraphic{metafun:bla} ...

\startuseMPgraphic{mpost:bla} ...

or so, more news later

Hans
