The name of the output file is always the name of the main input file
and you can only change this with the result option for context/texexec scripts.

The \product command is a special version of \input and the given file
is only read when the command appears in a project file and since it is
no longer recommended to use a project as main file the command has
no real purpose except a internal reference (in a component) to the parent file.
