for a while, since i need it so set up minimal trees; in addition i have a 
script that takes cont-bas, as well as cont-tfm and generates all the fonts 
and so; resulting in some 50 meg tree which has all you need;

here i use:

tex/texmf         -> current tex live
tex/texmf-local   -> latest context
tex/texmf-fonts   -> extra fonts and metrics
tex/texmf-project -> project specific files
tex/texmf-mswin   -> mem/pool/bin
tex/texmf-darwin  -> mem/pool/bin
tex/texmf-linux   -> mem/pool/bin

and for specific projects:

tex/texmf -> minimal tree
....

the advantage of the small tree is that it runs much faster

(i will put a minimal tree on the server some day soon so that users who 
want can sync with it)
