Just a quick question: Why isn't texexec.rme copied/renamed/edited to
e.g. bin/win32/texexec.ini? In the default TeXLive distribution,
texexec won't work -- for me at least -- because there is no
texexec.ini file. But it seems that a default one could perhaps be
distributed so that things work out of the box?

On my setup texexec.ini is on
c:\TeXLive\texmf\context\perltk

That would be great. The miracle of 4TEX was that it actually *worked* right
away (in most cases... :-)

Obviously, if there was an texexec.ini in the context zip file, it would
overwrite an already present version. Considering that a lot of people
install new context releases regularly, this does not sound like a good
idea to me.
I believe texexec uses the texexec.rme if it can't find the .ini file,
but the supplied file is suitable for teTeX/fpTeX, not MikTeX. Correct,
Hans?

right, the copying is not really needed; miktex users must copy the file
and set the miktex flag.
