I have noticed that the ConTeXt distribution contains both
$TEXMF/context/config/texexec.rme
and
$TEXMF/scripts/context/perl/texexec.rme
Are they both supposed to be used? What happens if they're not the same?
Thanks.

This is a FAQ.
They're both unused. You must rename or copy one to texexec.ini (I
prefer it in config).
This handwork is left to you, that updates can't overwrite your
settings.
Same with cont-usr.tex

Oops, sorry. Except ... is there a list of FAQs somewhere? I've never
seen it.

Yes, I knew they had to be copied. I take it, then, that texexec.ini can
be in either of the above locations ... maybe anywhere accessible to
kpathsea?
Anyway, it's a bit confusing to have two texexec.rme files. I would
suggest removing one of them from the distribution.
Thanks for your reply!

The reason why there are two files is that in the new tds the scripts are now in a separate branch of the tree (scripts); in order to keep some downward compatibility (also with respect to expectations) i put two copies in the tree; the one in scripts will go away next year
(btw, you can use textools to move files to the new locations)

No, there's no FAQ list. But three archives of the ML. Never mind.

Yes, kpathsea, I think so.
