ok, another option is to do this in mtx-context.lua as that one can also 
start texexec, like:


                     if texexec ~= "" then
                         os.setenv("RUBYOPT","")
                         local command = string.format("ruby %s 
%s",texexec,environment.reconstruct_commandline(environment.arguments_after))
                         os.exec(command)
                     end


so "context --pdftex ..." then should work

did you run 'setuptex' in the tex path first?
