as an experiment i now also check the preamble for a ctxfile specification
make a file "preferences.ctx", put it someplace in the tree and run
mtxrun --generate:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<ctx:job>
<ctx:message>default flags</ctx:message>
<ctx:flags>
<ctx:flag>purge</ctx:flag>
<ctx:flag>synctex=zipped</ctx:flag>
</ctx:flags>
</ctx:job>
then you can say:
% ctxfile=preferences
\starttext
whatever
\stoptext
